Kodi Lee and the Boys concert to benefit Audio & Braille Literacy Enhancement, June 8

Audio & Braille Literacy Enhancement presents Kodi Lee and the Boys in a fundraising concert to benefit ABLE Monday, June 8, 2009 6:30 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. Centennial Hall, Milwaukee Public Library 733 N. 8th St.

Kodi was born on July 7, 1996. At just three months old, he was diagnosed as legally blind from a condition known as Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. At the age of 4 1/2, he was diagnosed with Autism. Neither diagnosis stopped Kodi from expressing his love and passion for music. Before he was even able to crawl, his feet played rhythmic beats; with his hands he beat on anything that resonated sounds—from doors to trash cans to windows and light posts—composing musical numbers to mesmerize the senses. As the expression of his talent expanded, his repertoire of songs could test the library of any jukebox—from the soulful sounds of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder to the classical strains of Mozart and Chopin and the pop/rock sounds of Billy Joel and Sting. Kodi Lee and his band have been together for five years, performing all across the globe from their hometown in Utah to Beijing, China. Kodi’s dream is to share his music with those who are willing to open their hearts and share his special connection to the world.
