These children homes provide quality residential treatment programs for abused and neglected children and adolescents. Hear The Music Live was founded by Steven Nornhold in the summer of 2009. To date, Hear The Music Live has sent over 2000 pre-teens and teens from residential foster care group homes to see live concerts and meet music performers throughout the U.S. During 2009 and 2010, Hear The Music Live obtained substantial support from country music artists. This support includes: Providing Meet and Greet opportunities for the foster care pre-teens/teens at their concert events Enabling VIP ticket buy opportunities so that Hear The Music Live may arrange chaperone and pre-teens/teens group seating arrangements at the concert events Donation of VIP tickets Recording of Hear The Music Live’s Theme song (e.g. by Katie Armiger) Country Radio Public Service Announcement (PSA) have been recorded by Katie Armiger, Jimmy Wayne and Rodney Atkins.
