John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life. —John Hodgman, 2012
Join John Darnielle in supporting PRISMS (Parents and Researchers Interested in Smith-Magenis Syndrome) and those with Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS)—a rare genetic disorder estimated to occur in 1 out of every 15,000–25,000 births.
Individuals with SMS face significant developmental, behavioral, and sleep challenges, and families often rely on the strength of the community and understanding to navigate these complexities.
100% of proceeds from this event will go to PRISMS. Your support ensures PRISMS can continue providing education, resources, and hope to families while advancing research and awareness that make a lasting impact.
Together, we can make a difference for the SMS community.
