ASD Band, featuring four talented performers on the autism spectrum, was formed in 2019. The band debuted in grand style, playing alongside Roger Hodgson and a 43-piece orchestra for a performance of ‘Give A Little Bit.’ After recording cover songs including the Imagine Dragons ‘Follow You’ which the Dragons’ drummer called “such a great and inspiring performance,” ASD Band composed and arranged their first EP, ‘Fireflies’. Released in late 2021, the process of creating the album was captured in the feature-length documentary, “OKAY!”, which was awarded a prestigious Audience Award at the Hot Docs International Film Festival, won best Canadian feature film at Montreal’s FIFA Film Festival, and has played at film festivals around the world. ASD Band was featured at Canada’s largest outdoor festival, the Canadian National Exhibition, in 2022 and has recently been invited to play this summer’s event as well. In late 2022, they were invited to open Hayden’s ‘Dream Serenade’ benefit concert at Massey Hall for which they received a standing ovation. And most recently, ASD Band has been chosen to be on ‘Canada’s Got Talent.’
