Changing the face of disability in our community through music…
We never know what talents are hidden inside ourselves until we are given the key to unlock our potential. Often, having the opportunity to be heard is just what we need to realize the truth and value of what we have to offer to the world.
The Note-Ables is a phenomenal performing group made up of adults with disabilities. The group first met in April 1999 when they started jamming and writing their own songs together. By the summer of 1999 they had started playing small gigs in the Reno/Sparks area and have since expanded to performing 30-40 gigs each year. In addition to being professional and crowd pleasing, the group’s activities have also increased the visibility of people with disabilities and added to the dynamic arts community in the Truckee Meadows.
With a blend of covers and original songs, the musical style of The Note-Ables ranges from blues to country to jazz to classic rock. The group has played at venues throughout Nevada, and performances vary from a full 10 piece band at larger venues to a simple guitar and vocal duo at more intimate settings. The Note-Ables can be seen regularly in the Reno/Sparks area at venues such as Sparks Farmers Market, Wingfield Park, the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, Artown events and at the University of Nevada, Reno, just to name a few.
Sometimes the biggest barriers to overcome are the attitudes of others. Music has the power to change those as well…
Consider booking The Note-Ables at your next party, fundraiser or corporate/community event. The band will bring diversity, fun and widely enjoyed music guaranteed to bring a smile to your attendees.
