X Ambassadors Rock Star Casey Harris Talks with Hadley

Alternative rock band X Ambassadors went from being rejected for club gigs to playing venues around the world, with a top 10 album in only six years. This year, their hit Renegades, reached No. 1 on Billboard’s alternative songs chart in only eight weeks. Renegades’ inspiring video depicts people with disabilities working to overcome their challenges. It has a personal aspect to it, since band member Casey Harris has been blind since birth. Casey sat down with Hadley this summer during Lollapalooza in Chicago and talked about what it’s like being on stage, touring and growing up visually impaired. During Blindness Awareness Month, Hadley is sharing those interview clips <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=10207074&msgid=810892&act=GE9S&c=225701&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fhadleyinstitute%2Fposts%2F10154440786301655>  on its Facebook page and will upload the full interview at the end of October. We are thrilled to share Casey’s experiences with you (and we're a little star struck, too)!
