Farris Hallaj brought down the house at the Loudoun County Social Collective’s Annual Christmas Tea in December with his rendition of an original song called See Me. Now that song along with a full slate of his original music has been compiled into an album called California Dream that he’ll release this month with the help of producer Stephen Smith, MT-BC, with The Same Sky Studios. “See Me” appeared on an earlier compilation album from Same Sky, a label created by A Place To Be.
The studio and label of the same name is an offshoot of “The Same Sky Project,” a series of inclusive touring shows starring the non-profit’s clients and performers that features a cast of individuals with an array of differing abilities and life challenges. See Me has become a kind of unofficial anthem for the music therapy organization, Farris says proudly.
