Famous Band Invites Cranberry Family to Concert After Seeing YouTube Video

An autistic boy sang one of the band's songs at the Hope Learning Center.

A Cranberry Township boy's talent show performance caught the eye of a Grammy award-winning band.

Dalton Foreaker, 5, sang “Some Nights” by the pop rock band FUN. at the Hope Learning Center in Pine and the video was uploaded to YouTube.

What makes the performance exceptional is that Dalton is autistic. His mother told the Tribune Review the four-minute performance was surreal for her because it's hard for her to get Dalton to answer simple questions.

The video touched the heart of the band's manager, who invited the family to the band's upcoming and sold-out concert in Pittsburgh. FUN. will play at Stage AE on July 18.
