Thanks in part to funding through the Bowl's Outreach program, twelve teenagers, also known as the Young Musicians, are set to take the stage on May 9th for the 11th Annual “Sing It Out!” show, put on by AHA!, a nonprofit organization that promotes social and emotional intelligence in young adults. Many of the teens have never sung in public before, but rock musician Tina Schlieske, and her band, Tina Schlieske and the Graceland Exiles with Sister Laura will be there to perform backup with the Young Musicians.

AHA! serves teens and families with in-school and after-school programs, with a focus on teaching social and emotional intelligence to combat bullying and celebrate diversity through a very creative and participatory curriculum. The program has proved to be extremely successful.

The event will take place at the Deckers Brands’ Rotunda at 6601 Hollister Ave. in Goleta, CA. Tickets for Sing It Out! are $25 for adults and $10 for students under the age of 18. VIP tickets are $125 and include food, drinks and preferred seating. Taco truck fare, wines donated by Babcock Winery & Vineyards, and a signature cocktail will be available for purchase.
