OUR ARTISTS

When you become a TAFFY artist,  TAFFY makes a match between you and the perfect location. We work with the venue to address site concerns so that your visit runs smoothly. The entire experience is great for the performing artist, children, families, and donors. Staff members also enjoy the fun entertainment! 

A few supporting artists and labels

TAFFY PRESENTS with Val Smalkin of Small Kin Music, has embarked upon a unique program with the Maryland School for the Blind Statewide Outreach program using song-writing to assist blind teens self-advocate. The lyrics resulting from the first workshop were so stunning that the one workshop developed into an entire program with the objective of facilitating the students' communication to the sighted world, through the production of a CD, tentatively titled, “Not With My Eyes.”
