Special to The Canton News
Funding the Future, in partnership with GOODING, a high-energy rock ‘n’ roll trio based in Nashville, will visit Canton Ninth-Grade Academy on Wednesday, April 5, at 1 p.m. and Canton High School on Thursday, April 6, at 10:15 a.m. to share with students the importance of financial literacy.
Using the raw, undeniable energy of a live musical performance, GOODING will weave a high-energy show integrating original music, multimedia visuals, and testimony of the artists’ life stories, dreams, trials, and successes, into valuable life lessons on personal finance, giving students the knowledge and confidence to make their own dreams a reality.
Funding the Future is a 501(c)(3) organization that teaches students vital financial principles by organizing live musical performances at schools across the nation and creating a dialogue around financial literacy between students and musicians. Since 2014, Funding the Future has reached more than 234,000 students across thirty-five states, Washington, D.C., and two Canadian provinces. They believe by teaching financial literacy to the next generation of leaders, the young adults will make smarter financial decisions, leading to increased professional and personal success.
With over 2,000 shows in two hundred cities under their belt, the three-piece GOODING is touted as one of the hardest-working bands in America. The band blasts majestic, soul-stirring indie rock with soaring harmonies and blazing guitars infused with hints of Delta Blues and Latin guitar work. Their new album, 99 Rebellions, was released on March 18, 2022, hot on the heels of their appearance at the Austin, Texas, South by Southwest festival (SXSW). GOODING has been featured in over five hundred film and television placements, including Jurassic World, Walk The Line, Iron Man 2, Saturday Night Live, Modern Family, Portlandia, Dateline NBC, The Today Show, Late Night with Stephen Colbert, What We Do In The Shadows, and dozens more.
