Wow… what an amazing night. Autism Speaks held the “Light Up the Blues” Concert in LA on Saturday. When we were invited, I was thrilled. Both Nikki & I have been supporting Autism speaks over the past few years and it continues to be a cause that is very close to our hearts. It was an incredible night of music that included two of my biggest influences… Crosby, Stills & Nash & Ryan Adams. Not to mention Rickie Lee Jones, Lucinda Williams, Don Felder, Chris Stills, and The Miracle Project Fly Singers Nick Guzman, Rio Wyles and Lexington Aaron. It was an inspirational night to say the least. We’re thankful to be a part in such an amazing cause. The night ended with CSN bringing everyone up on stage to sing “Teach Your Children”…it was by far the coolest super jam I’ve ever been a part of…Jack Black, CSN, Lucinda Williams, Don Felder…and the list goes on and on. Check out the video and pics below. For info on Autism Speaks the you can click the link to their site at the top of the page!

Had a blast hanging with everyone at the Celeb Grand Prix in Long Beach! It was the first time I’ve ever tried to pull of the National Anthem…and yes…it’s a tough one. Either way, I gave it a shot and it was great times with great people for a great cause! Check out the press release below!

Paul McDonald to Sing National Anthem to Kick Off 37th Annual Charitable Event

LONG BEACH, Calif., April 8, 2013 –“Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer and popular cast member Maksim Chmerkovskiy will bring his ballroom flair to the 37th Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race as grand marshal of the long-running, prestigious charitable event. Chmerkovskiy will be joined by singer and former “American Idol” contestant Paul McDonald, who will open the race by performing the national anthem.

Chmerkovskiy, a Latin ballroom dance champion, choreographer and instructor, thrilled audiences as an outspoken and fiery competitor on “Dancing with the Stars.” McDonald was a popular finalist on Season 10 of “American Idol,” performing original music from his band, The Grand Magnolias.

The participation of both celebrities adds to the impressive list of Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race drivers from film, television, music, sports and the military who will speed through the historic 1.97-mile street circuit on the streets of downtown Long Beach, Calif. They include one of Mexico’s most acclaimed actresses Kate del Castillo; Jenna Elfman, star of “1600 Penn”; Olympic gold medalist Jessica Hardy; “Dallas” star Jesse Metcalfe; actor Jackson Rathbone, best known for his role as Jasper Hale in the hit “Twilight” movie series; comedian Wanda Sykes, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer and Jeremy Sisto, star of “Suburgatory.”

The celebrity participants also include Brett Davern, star of MTV’s hit series “Awkward”; Mark Steines host of Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family”; Michael Trucco of SyFy’s acclaimed series “Battlestar Galactica” and most recently “Revenge”; Fox Sports/SPEED auto racing analyst and co-host of “Top Gear USA” Rutledge Wood and 2012 Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race winner and comedian Adam Carolla. Each will get behind the wheel of an identically prepared, race-ready Scion FR-S sports car to compete in the 10-lap event.

“We are thrilled to have Maksim Chmerkovskiy serve as grand marshal and Paul McDonald sing the anthem before this year’s race, bringing more star power to this high-profile charitable event,” said Les Unger, Toyota national motorsports manager. “Together their presence will help bring more attention to the children who benefit from The Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race.”

The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is one of the longest-running, corporate-sponsored events of its kind. Toyota annually donates $5,000 to Racing for Kids on behalf of each participant and another $5,000 to the winning racer’s charity of choice. Racing for Kids – a national nonprofit program benefiting children’s hospitals throughout the country – was created as a way to connect these children with their favorite celebrities and race car drivers.

Since 1991, Toyota has donated more than $2 million to the Racing for Kids organization, on behalf of this race and its participants. In addition to Toyota’s contributions, a $15,000 donation will be made in conjunction with the 16th annual “People Pole Award.” Sponsored by People magazine, the award honors the pole-position winner of the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race qualifying session on April 19.
