* We're gonna rock around the clock tonight. *
(Christopher Kale Jones) So we wanted this to be kind
of a microcosm of kind of just different social classes.
We chose these two counties in Indiana.
So I thought, well, what if no one shows up?
Where in a very small subset of the country.
What if we don't have anyone who comes, and that
we've had thousands of people come to the website
and now we have a great number of people coming to
these auditions.
Then my second and third fear was,
is anyone gonna be any good?
My name is Sierra Helton.
I'm 16 years old and I'm from Gary, Indiana.
* I was wr-o-o-o-ong.
Hi, I'm Taylor Carter.
I'm 22 years old and I'm from Merrillville, Indiana.
* My heart was wrapped up in clover. *
My name is Adam Gawlikowski.
I am 73 and I live in Highland.
My name is Dwayne Everett.
I am 27 years old and I'm from Merrillville, Indiana.
*When the night has come... *
*And the land is dark *
*
Congratulations on making callbacks.
[cheers]
* Don't know much about a science book. *
* Don't know much about the French I took. *
* But I do know that I love you. *
* And I know that if you love me, too. *
* What a wonderful world this would be. *
I like that.
Will the following people please step forward to the white line.
Clarence Smith,
Tyreak Thomas, and
Megan Wilkerson.
Congratulations.
Welcome to Harmonies for Healing:
Under the Streetlamp.
You're all gonna be in the concert with us and we're
looking forward to working with you.
(applause)
And now, Part Two of Harmonies for Healing:
Under the Streetlamp.
*
*Ah ah ah ah. *
Same note.
Cool.
Thank you.
That's what I do.
Then he does the first two lines, to blah blah blah blah.
Yeah.
I know.
Well, someone else had asked me....
this guy came to the door, I'm just out there going like,
"Give me food!"
* I...Believe in music
Take, ready, and...
*People all over the world, join hands, *
*Start a love train, love train. *
Yea.
Two, ride, let it ride, two, ready, and
*Ri-i-i-de, let it ride.... *
*Ri-i-i-de, let it ride. *
*People all over the world, join hands. *
*Start a love train, love train. *
*Don't you wanna ride this love train? *
I spent most of my life and experience in
Christian music, and this experience, of course I
like all kinds of music.
But being a part of this process has given me a
real appreciation for a lot of different diverse
backgrounds and experiences, and has
brought my perspective, pushed me out of my comfort zone.
I've met a lot of different people with
different stories.
And so any time that you can broaden your horizons
and push the boundaries of your own experience, just
gives you a better appreciation for the world
around you and the people in that world.
Yeah.
I love just being a part of this group-every single person.
You know, we all look different, we all have
such different opinions about things, but it seems
like we do all this chatter and all this
talking but then we all get together as a group
and we sing these songs together, and I feel like
the people that are next to me, I'm like,
I'm having the same experience with them.
And you know, we're singing all the same
words, and you just feel like a big community.
And you can tell looking at everybody, everyone
loves music, and they just have that in their heart,
and that's where you feel like one with all these
people-and all that diversity and all that
other stuff just falls away cause you all have
that love for the same thing.
Yeah, music makes a connection....
Right.
with individuals, and so it, most of the time it
doesn't matter what the genre of music is.
Right.
When we're all singing together, it creates a community
and a connection.
Yeah, something really special there.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Yeah.
The message that Harmonies for Healing wants to bring
is social change and unity in a community.
And I think that because we all are, come from
different backgrounds, I can take that and teach it
to my singing kids, teach it to my future clients
when I become a speech pathologist, and basically
just treat everyone with kindness and respect.
One, two, three.
* People all over the world, join hands. *
*Start a love train, love train. *
(Interviewer) How are the rehearsals
going for you so far?
The rehearsals are going super great.
I've been learning a lot.
The group sounds absolutely fantastic when
we all have such power together.
So it's been really interesting to work with
everybody who's, you know, so passionate about music.
So they've been going really good.
* People all over the world, join hands. *
*Start a love train, love train. * Come on!
* People all over the world. Everybody.
The music has been shaped in my life by a lot of
people, really.
But there's certainly something special about
the connection that I have with my little sister.
Her and I really didn't like each other very much growing up,
which I guess could be said for any siblings.
I was sixteen, so you would have been twelve.
Yep.
And Rent came out, and I've always been like the
horrible theatre nerd running around the house
singings show tunes, and no one else in the family
was into that kind of stuff until that movie
came out and I took her along to see it, not
knowing if she would enjoy it at all.
And I absolutely loved it.
I cried.
I was so sad when Angel died.
Yes, Angel's death was traumatic.
That was definitely the beginning of us having
sort of a common ground where we could both relate
to something.
Yeah.
And then that is sort of the basis that allowed us
to touch on all of those other points where we're,
where we're close.
Yeah, after that I was like super excited.
I was like, oh me and my brother,
we have this connection.
I'm like, I want to know more musicals!
What's next?
And then there was Wicked and The Heights, and I'm
like, this is awesome.
And The Color Purple.
Yeah.
Music is maybe the foundation where we found
a connection, something that we both loved, and
Mary sings, too.
*When I lay me down to sleep. *
*I will say my prayer that God loves me so deep. *
*He will promise our souls to keep *
*Together. *
*I'll say our prayer. *
You were supposed to go up.
Cuz I'm trying to go around you.
See, this is awful.
(Laughter)
(Shonn Wiley) I think parents and,
parents are like starving for an opportunity to have
a connection with their children.
I mean I think about it.
We were so lucky to have music and have dance and
have performance as that kind of shared connection.
I've singing and dancing my whole life.
When I was about seven or eight years old, my dad
put me into dance classes, and it was something that
we shared together.
He started off growing up on a farm in Maine, and it
was either go tend to the cows or you know, go do
what your sisters were doing, and so he, finally
he didn't want to be in the field at all and he
decided that he wanted to go take dance lessons.
And he had this natural ability that was really
kind of wonderful.
(tap dancing)
[cheers]
And then the Vietnam War happened and
he decided to put that dream of becoming a
professional on the shelf and he served his country
for three tours.
And when he came back, things were just really
different, and he met my mother and they started a family.
And we used to watch old movie musicals.
It was something that I really genuinely loved.
And we would try to figure out exactly what the steps
were that they were doing and we'd go to the
basement and we'd like try to, we'd dance it out, and
it was just this really wonderful moment for us to
kind of have this shared experience together.
Well, growing up my house was always filled with music.
We, you know, we had a three bedroom, and one of
them was totally full of my dad's instruments.
I grew up with him playing music every weekend,
rehearsal every Tuesday, and somehow I slept
through it.
He had it right in my house.
Literally, like subliminally, I was
constantly infused with music from a really,
really young age.
It gave us something to sort of joke about because
he obviously grew up in a different generation than
me, and his idea of what great music was at the
time was not exactly what mine was as a teenager.
And he's like, "Man, I've played all those chords a
thousand times-you're not showing me anything new."
I'd be like, "No way, dad.
This is like, this is cutting edge," you know.
(laughing)
And years later, looking back on it, it gave us
something to bond over and something to, you know,
rib each other a little bit about.
But it also gave us a chance to, to work
together on something that, that we could, we
could communicate in a language that, that wasn't words.
You know.
It was a way of us expressing to each other
what our, our wants were.
Rehearsals are, they're great.
They're very challenging.
Things change every day and when those things
change you have to adjust quickly.
And adjusting's been a little difficult.
Knowing the rhythms of music or something that
you've never experienced before and then putting
that to, you know, to what your show quality will be
are entirely different than anything I've ever
done in my life, so, although I've enjoyed
every single second of it.
Every second.
(Indistinguishable rehearsal talking and singing)
Rehearsals for me so far have helped me just gain
vocal prowess.
My voice has gotten better, I've started
singing from different places that sound even
better than where they did before I started this.
So if anything I've gained, I've gained two things-
the vocal prowess and the ability to shut my mouth.
*
*Don't know much about history. *
*Don't know much biology. *
*Don't know much about a science book. *
*Don't know much about the French I took. *
*But I do know that I love you. *
-Good back it up.
*And I know that if you love me, too. *
*What a wonderful world this would be. *
Being a part of this has, is an amazing experience.
It's been an amazing journey.
I love being amongst people whom I find to be my people.
We have a shared love of music, we have a shared
love of performing, we have a shared love of
touching people.
* But I know that one and one is two. *
* And if this one could be with you. *
*What a wonderful world this would be. *
*Now I don't claim to be an A student. *
*But I'm trying to be. *
*Maybe by being an A student, baby. *
*I can you win your love... *
I came from an alcoholic family and it was kind of my, my
go-to-it was my safe place just to, I wasn't very
good at expressing myself, so I learned to love music
and find messages in how I was feeling through
different songs.
We come a very musical family.
It's always been around and we've been singing
since, I don't know, since you were a kid, you know,
out on the swing and just singing by yourself and
I'd look out the window and sometimes I'd cry just
cuz it was so precious.
But it's just, you know, watching it develop over
the years and being able to provide a backdrop for
you to, I mean I love playing the guitar.
It's how I think we connect.
Since my dad got into recovery, he, our
relationship has changed a lot.
I think we hang out more.
We like to do not necessarily focus on how
songs make us feel but just any song in general-I
like this song, let's learn it, let's do it type of thing.
* You've been on my mind. *
*I grow fonder every day. *
*Lose myself in time. *
*Just thinkin' of your face. *
*God only knows. *
*Why it's takin' me so long. *
*To let my doubts go. *
*You're the only one that I wanted. *
*I don't know why I'm scared. *
*Cuz I've been here before. *
One of the things
I like about this project is that I'm able to engage
with music in a life-affirming way with so
many of the people here-with you, with
Kristen, with some of the other, the fifteen other
folks who are doing it.
You know, I wore the label of father, husband,
financial advisor, whatever-and when, you
know, this kind of perfect storm came along and just
like it, everything was, you know-at least in my
mind at the time-destroyed.
And it's just like, your, my sense of identity is
just totally ripped from you.
You're like in free fall.
It's like ah, who am I?
What am I about? What does this mean?
And you know, it's, you know, self-medicating is
an easy avenue to take and I went through it like
millions of other people.
But then just, you know, you eventually get to the
point where it's like, well what are you gonna do?
Well, we also live in a culture that completely
and totally condones it and glamorizes it
on every single level.
-Tell me about it.
It's what you're supposed to do, especially if
you're a musician.
Mm.
You know, I mean it's almost glamorized and
fetishized that if you're a musician, you know, you
shoot care to the wind, you know, and you party,
and it's like, you know, tabloids and TMZ and stuff
will parade out the next actor, rock star, TV star
that's in rehab as though it's just part of the
resume-as though if you haven't done it you're not
legitimized or something.
Right.
And everyone's like, oh, well they're, you know,
they're, they, well they get that.
But that's part of this glamorous lifestyle.
You know, I used to be a trader.
It's like every day-you know, you've got a good
day, you celebrated it.
If you had a bad day, you commiserated.
I mean it was just kind of the, it's just kind of
what you did, and it's a, just a nasty trap that you
set yourself up for, so.
I haven't told anybody about my alcoholism.
I haven't told anybody about my recovery on television.
I haven't relapsed yet but, you know, when talk
about, I mean I never needed a reason.
I never need a reason.
For twenty years I never needed a reason.
And I've got to tell you that, you know, this, I'm
37 years old and the last twenty-ish months is the
first time I've ever been sober as an adult, period.
I mean I, it's still one day at a time for me, man.
Interacting with the music business is hard.
You know, if I go out on tour, there are ghosts out
there for me, man, cuz that's where I did my
hardest drinking.
That's where I did my hardest partying, I did my
farthest escaping.
It's hard for me to interact with that, to
engage with that.
You know, I mean I know this is supposed to be
about you and now I'm just like jawin' on; I'm
talking, talking.
But it's just, you know, the chief thing that keeps
me sober is talking to another alcoholic.
-Yeah.
Cuz regardless of how you feel about programs,
I think that everybody feels
better when they don't feel alone.
*If you can. *
*Reach out and touch somebody's hand. *
*Make this world a better place if you can. *
*Reach out and touch somebody's hand. *
*Make this world a better place if you can. *
*Reach out and touch somebody's hand. *
*Make this world a better place. *
I was fortunate enough that although neither of my parents
were singers, they were both artistic.
My mom had actually put herself through college by
teaching ballet, and I learned later in life that
my dad actually had studied some acting and
done some acting in college, but it was
understood in his family that that's not what you did.
So he ended up getting a medical degree and became
an anesthesiologist.
But the way I benefitted is that when it became
obvious that I had a potential to be a singer
and a performer when I was younger, they
encouraged me and they helped me along that journey.
And I realize a lot of young people who have
talents don't get that same sort of encouragement
because it's a scary thing for a parent, you know, to
see your kid have these artistic desires because
you, it's hard to connect the dots as to how that
can provide the rent and help provide for a family
and all these things.
And so I consider myself very lucky that I had
parents that encouraged me.
You know, like you, like you guys I was lucky that
there was music in my family ever since I was
growing up.
My grandpa actually was a jazz pianist in the 1960s
and he played all over the country for years.
And then after my mom and her brother and her sister
were born, he had to come down home to Dayton, Ohio
to raise a family and then he left his career on the road.
But he always kept that piano in the parlor and
when I visited my grandpa and grandma, I was the
only one of eight grandchildren that was
fascinated with it, and I would sit next to him as
he would play these hour-long concerts when he
would come home from work, and he would teach me how
to play the melody of his favorite songs on the
piano and if I got it right he would just sort
of burst out laughing, you know, with pride, you
know, that I was picking it up.
And that feeling was so good and that laughter was
so infectious that it changed my life forever.
That's how I fell in love with this music and how I
knew that music was a fun place to be; was a safe
place to be-something that I associated with, you
know, with my family, and something good and that I
would pursue for the rest of my life.
If we could just go through One Love, I just
want to hear what you're doing, and then we'll chat
about it.
Is that cool?
* Let them all pass all their dirty remarks. *
Tell them out there, man.
*There is just one question I'd really love to ask *
Yeah, man.
*Is there a place for the hopeless sinner *
Tell 'em.
*Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs. *
So the interesting thing is when you, when you turn
up the volume on your intention, the performance
is open and more loud as well.
122.
We got 103 on What's Going On .
Right.
We got 122 on...
on I'll Be There ...
And on the slow I'll Be There we got 91.
* Togetherness...
* Well that's all I'm after.
The other ones I got wrong.
It's a, it's a major event that you're getting ready
to do, and I think you're prepared for it.
You know, keep the pedal to the metal and keep it
rollin' and I think it's gonna be a great show.
Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be a part of it
because, because of a personal situation I have
to deal with on that Saturday.
But you'll be in, you'll be in great hands.
You'll be in great hands with, just with the
Streetlamp and Brandon and Chris and Michael and Shonn.
So they've been doing a lot of work with you and
you've excelled with that.
I'm proud of what you're doing and you just sound....
We'll miss you, man.
Thanks, Doc.
Doc is like, Doc is like the granddad that like I
never had cuz he's so, he's so like quirky.
Like he'd like the....
I know!
You never know what's going through his brain.
You know, and it's just wonderful working with him
cuz he's like, he's like kind of, he's crazy.
But he's musical crazy.
(Laughter)
I'm gonna play, tomorrow, 782.
We're all together, Jason.
Tour group.
*
I agree.
No. But the problem was, it wasn't that he took the cow.
It's like, it's on fire.
Oh you want that one?
I, feels like it's in a cloud.
(laughing)
Gentlemen keep approaching us saying that
they really like the...
Great.
Beautiful
Okay, get in.
I like that.
Atmosphere?
I don't know.
That's not right....
(chatter)
Good.
I don't know.
Are you nervous?
I'm not nervous.
I wouldn't say nervous.
I'd say a lot of excitement.
I don't have any integrity, though....
it's something that we just don't do.
I feel like we're, you know, we're like us but
we're also a whole different thing.
(chatter)
That's mine.
It's showtime.
(chatter)
I just want to say a word-how honored and
grateful I am to be a part of this group and I, as
you are as well.
But God loves every one of you and he has a plan for
your life-a plan that is full of hope-and so I just
want you to wake up every day humble and hungry and
grateful to the God who gave you these gifts and
the opportunity to use them.
So let's, let's ask His blessing on our,
our performance.
Absolutely.
Mm hm.
Thank you, God, for these gifts and thank you,
Father, for the opportunity to use them,
and we want to honor You with them.
So calm our spirits and fill our hearts with joy
and may that be shown on our faces.
In Jesus', in God's name.
Ah ah ha ha ha oh!
Got the Jewish kid over here.
It's the same verses-must be still the same thing.
You know the other thing, too.
(Shonn) I had a teacher once tell me,
you know, "break a leg" came because at the end of a show
back in the olden days, when they went to bring in the
curtain in so many times that they broke the leg.
That's why, that's why we say "break a leg" for many
curtain calls.
Not your own leg.
Exactly.
I had a teacher who said, "How about say heal a heart."
Go out there and heal a heart.
Nice!
Good!
And I have always held onto that, so I wish
everybody a wonderful opportunity tonight to
heal many, many hearts.
That's amazing.
Thanks, Shonn.
Thanks, Jimmy.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome!
We are so incredibly excited to have each and
every one of your with us tonight.
My name is Michael.
These are my dear friends Shonn, Chris, and Brandon.
We are Under the Streetlamp and we're proud
to be here with the Under the Streetlamp Band.
[clapping].
You may also have noticed that our band has grown a bit.
I can't tell you what an honor it is to introduce
you to sixteen of our closest and newest friends.
Please welcome the Harmonies for Healing
Super Group!
[cheering]
We have had such an incredible time
getting to know these folks, hearing their
stories behind their journeys in music, and we
were so happy to be able to join our love for music
with a community-driven mission to encourage
life-affirming dialogue and social change.
It's certainly no mystery why we chose music, the
universal language, as the root of our project.
From the moment our hearts beat, we have rhythm
inside of us, and that is why we feel that everybody
can make music.
But when you're lucky enough to make music with
your friends, that's when the real magic happens.
Here we go.
A one, a two, a one, two, three, four.
(tap dancing)

* And when I'm makin' my music, I can't do nobody no harm *
*But who knows? *

*To make people stop fussin' and fightin' *
*long enough to sing along. *
*I (I), I believe in music (believe in music). *
*I (I), I believe in lo-ove (believe in love). *

(applause)
We finally figured out a way to make
that song entertaining.
(laughing)
I gotta tell you.
Would you give these courageous folks a round
of applause for being who they are?
[cheering and applause]
Alrighty. Sing us a song, Christopher.

*When the night has come. *
*And the land is dark. *
*And the moon is the only light we'll see. *
*Oh I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid. *
*Just as long as you stand, stand by me. *
*So darling, darling, stand by me. Oh oh stand by me. *
*Oh stand (stand by me). *
*Stand by me. Stand by me. *
*If the sky that we look upon. *
*Oh, oh should tumble and fall. *
*And the mountains should crumble into the sea. *
*
*I won't cry, I won't cry (oh oh oh oh), *
*no I won't shed a tear. *
*Just as long as you stand, stand by me. *
*So darling, darling, stand by me. *
*Oh, stand by me. *
*Oh stand (stand by me), stand by me, stand by me. *
*
*You stand by me, *
*I'll stand by you. *
*I'm telling you the truth. *
*See, I'm a lover, not a fighter. *
*Hands up, please don't shoot. *
*I've been sending my love to friends. *
*Africa and Syria, too. *
*Been getting real tired of people acting like *
*it's black versus blue *
*when it's one love, one heart. *
*I see the universe inside of you. *
*Peace is the move. *
*Love is the game. *
*We all just made up of the same thing. *
*You know something's gotta give. *
*In order to develop we must change. *
*We the people were not created equal but created *
*as one to live as one. *
*Stand by me (ooh oooh). *
*Stand by me (oooh oooh). *
*So darling, darling, stand by me. *
*Oh stand by me *
*Oh stand (stand by me), stand by me, stand by me. *
*When in ever you're in trouble won't you stand by me. *
*Oh, oh stand by me. *
*Sta-a-and, stand by me *
*(stand by me), stand by me (stand by me). *
*Oh, stand by me-e-e-e-e. *

How about this Harmonies for Healing Super Group,
ladies and gentlemen.
Aren't they beautiful?
(cheering and applause)
That's our concert for tonight, ladies and
gentlemen.
Thank you so very much for being with us.
We'll be there in the lobby real soon.
(Brandon) Every time I saw someone open
their mouth all I wanted was for it to be amazing.
And, and when it happened-when I saw it,
when I felt it-it took me to a whole different place.
I didn't even feel like I was on stage.
(Michael) Probably the best moment of
the night, near the end of the show, was looking out in
the audience and watching their friends and family members look
at them with such pride in their eyes.
(Christopher) All of their friends and family
showed up and everything went so well.
They all, in their solo moments and in their
choral moments, they all rose to the occasion and
they did their parts, and I could barely keep myself
together onstage watching them and wanting so badly for them
to rise up and do it.
And when they did, I felt like I needed to do a sigh
of relief while I was on stage, then would catch
myself and sing my background part.
(Michael) All of these incredible people
helped us to actually pull this off.
Where do you guys want to go next?
