Album Notes

New York, NY. The Performing Arts Division of the National Federation of the Blind is proud to announce the release of their first-ever compilation CD entitled “Sound In Sight – Volume 1”.

18 songs performed by blind artists were selected through an open submission process and carefully reviewed by the Division’s Board of Directors. Highlights of the genre-spanning collection include Nashville-based songwriter JP Williams’ “Tongue Tied”, Brooklyn folk-pop stylist Brooke Fox’s “Cinematic” and hip hop duo Kemistry’s “Let Me See You Move”.

The album was unveiled at the Division’s General Membership Meeting as part of the National Federation of the Blind’s National Convention held June 30 to July 6 in Atlanta, Georgia.
