Band Members: Who We Are:A writer, some musicians, a producer and a group of friends and relations who bring a variety of professional skills to the SingSOS project.

John O'Neil (lyricist), an editor and writer at The New York Times, told his son James's story in a full-page article that was the capstone of a yearlong series on autism that the paper nominated for a Pulitzer prize.

Jon Fried and Deena Shoshkes (songwriters) are singer/songwriters whose band, the Cucumbers, was praised by Jon Pareles of the Times as "power pop with a light touch and endearing quirks."

Michael Visceglia (producer) is a bassist and music producer who has toured internationally with Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, Valerie Carter and many other world class musicians and has put together a group of the finest musicians in NYC to interpret our songs.

Dan Griffin (project consultant) is a producer and film maker whose honors include a Grammy nomination, a Nashville Music Award and induction into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. He has worked with artists ranging from the Rolling Stones to The Roches.
Influences: We have all either been touched directly by the autism of a child, or seen its terrible toll and the miracles that early detection and treatment can make possible.
Sounds Like: We're seeking donations to allow us to record the songs that John and Jon (and others) have written about the emotions and experiences of families living with autism.
