Theo and Brianne Rooding

  • Summary

  • Fred Johnson, the host and guiding light of these podcasts, sits down for a deep conversation with Theo and Brianne Roading. Theo is an Army veteran who was medially discharged after a severe injury. His road back to civilian life led him and his wife to the Tampa Bay Area, and together were introduced to the Veteran Civilian Arts Ensemble at the Straz Theater. Theo worked with Guitars for Vets in Nashville, and his introduction to music therapist Natalie Quintana opened the door to expressing himself through music. As a veteran Theo was seeing the world as a dangerous place, but working with the Ensemble and experiencing the joy of music helped him to recalibrate his feeling. "The world doesn't have to be a scary place," says Brianne, "and it is wonderful to hear him immersed in his music." Theo often provides the music for the Ensembles performances, and Brianne is still amazed that she is singing and dancing! Together they are sharing this opportunity to create something new.
