LISTEN
A BENEFIT CD FOR OUR TIME
Release Date: June 23rd, 2009


Daryl Hall in the studio for ‘Listen’
On June 23rd, a remarkable album, eight years in the making, will be released. ‘LISTEN’ is a collection of 15 original songs, written by children who stutter, and recorded by iconic artists including Carly Simon, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Duncan Sheik, John Forte, Mandy Patinkin and many others.

Our Time is a non-profit organization centered on a one-of-a-kind Arts program that provides children who stutter with an environment of unconditional acceptance…a creative forum, where they can express themselves through art, music, writing and theater, slowly and without risk of being shamed.

‘LISTEN’ will be released on Sh-K-Boom Records, and proceeds will benefit Our Time.

Other artists who recorded lead or back-up vocals for ‘LISTEN’ include Blue Man Group, Ann Hampton Callaway, Michael Cerveris, Amanda Kravat, Adriane Lenox, Norm Lewis, Kelli O’Hara, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Nicki Richards, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Sherie Rene Scott, Stomp, Mary Testa, Michelle Weeks, Lucy Woodward, Cast Members from Spring Awakening, and the youth of Our Time. Our Time’s Taro Alexander and Everett Bradley provide vocals as well.
