The event was conceived by singer and songwriter Vaneese Thomas and her husband, recording engineer and producer Wayne Warnecke, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2022. Wayne, known for his work with artists like Chaka Khan, Patti Austin, and Luther Vandross, has been a pillar of the music community for decades. Despite his diagnoses, he continues to inspire with his unwavering positivity and contributions to the industry, including producing Vaneese’s latest album, Stories in Blue.
Their vision brings together artists across blues, soul, funk, and rock for an unforgettable evening where music becomes a force for hope.
