Man with a Vision

Vincent Adams

Dustin Welch (upper right) oversees the progress of a veteran (left) who is learning a new song at the CSW workshop. Dustin
is a 31-year-old Austin area singer/songwriter and is founder of the “Dustin Welch Band”. He was born in Nashville Tennessee
to parents of Osage Indian ancestry, and currently lives in Buda, Texas. Dustin is not a veteran nor is any member of his extended family. He organized SSV to fulfill a need he perceived “that was lacking in the veteran community”. Initially Dustin was asked to participate in the veterans benefits album “Voices of a Grateful Nation” by Charles Gallagher, the founder of the “Welcome Home Project” (WHP) in 2009. SSV became a reality shortly thereafter, and has grown to over 15 locations in Texas and around the United States.
