Event
Xolie Morra & The Strange Kind
In recognition of World Autism Awareness Day, Xolie Morra will be speaking and performing with guitarist, Josh Tvrdy of the band Xolie Morra & The Strange Kind, at an event sponsored by the Snohomish County Music Project at the Northwest Music Hall located inside the Everett Mall.
Her band has shared the stage with Crosby, Stills & Nash, John Mayer, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow and so many more. Theyve appeared on local shows like New Day Northwest and on the late-night stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Her music is eclectic, mixing Xolies edgy vocals and moving melodic compositions, and touching people on multiple levels no matter what genre they prefer, though her music would best be described as a very classically approached Pop/Rock band with an Alternative Country root.
Singer and songwriter Xolie Morra of the Seattle band Xolie Morra & The Strange Kind, is an active representative of the Autism community, speaking personally about her life with Aspergers Syndrome. As an artist who is on the Autism Spectrum, Xolie Morra Cogley uses her music to help people understand and change their approach to Neuro-Diversity. Xolie and the other members of her band have pushed their way past boundaries to inspire other artists with disabilities to do what they love.
In a musical performance and short talk, Xolie Morra shares a unique and likely for many a refreshing view of what it's like to be a performer with Asperger's syndrome at TEDxRainer 2015.
Similarly, the Snohomish County Music Projects board-certified music therapists help people work through their challenges by using music as an instrument of healing. Their music therapy programs serve a diverse mix of people, including at-risk children and youth, seniors suffering with memory-related challenges, veterans with PTSD, as well as individuals with Autism.
