As a long-time member of the iconic Canadian band, The Barenaked Ladies, Kevin Hearn has played before large audiences all around the world, but his most cherished performances are before an audience of one in a Toronto area group home. That's where his daughter Havana lives. At nearly every visit, he plays her favourite song, Streams of Lemonade, a take-off on Streams of Whisky by the legendary Irish band The Pogues. Havana, now 20, was born with a brain malformation called lissencephaly. She's non-verbal, has limited mobility and endures seizures. For decades, Toronto's Beverley School has been catering to young children with exceptionalities. All of the students from kindergarten to Grade 8 have developmental disabilities and many have both physical limitations and complicated medical conditions. Canadian music stars have been raising money for the school with an annual fundraising concert called Dream Serenade.
