SingSOS is a music project about winning the fight against autism. So far we have teamed up with musicians including Jackson Browne, Marshall Crenshaw, Valerie Carter, Dar Williams, Jonatha Brooke, Dan Bern and Mike Viola.
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. Our goal: record a CD of a cycle of songs we have written about autism.
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.

Why this name?
SingSOS stands for Sing Songs of the Spectrum, a nonprofit group whose mission is to use the power of music to raise awareness, funds and spirits in the struggle against autism spectrum disorders.
Our main goal at present: record and release a CD with renowned vocalists interpreting our songs about autism.
We seek to raise awareness because the children and families hurt by this baffling disease can only be helped if society at large understands their needs and the life-altering power of early detection and intensive treatment.
We seek to raise spirits because the parents involved face an isolating and dispiriting fight. Building a sense of hope, community and more widespread understanding is vital to sustaining and advancing their efforts.
We seek to raise funds for the groups leading the charge against autism, because their resources are not yet a match for the work to be done. The funds we raise will benefit leading autism awareness and research groups, including Autism Speaks. We hope to work with other organizations to get the CD out into the public.
We Sing SOS, Songs of the Spectrum, not only to sound the alarm about autism's rapid spread, but to rally an effective national response.
