Music can preserve a memory, tell a story and help people heal. Gary Sinise joins Sandy Maxx for a deeply personal conversation about his late son, Mac Sinise, and Graceful Warrior, a world-premiere concert experience coming to Milwaukee’s Skylight Music Theatre. Sinise shares how Mac continued composing while battling a rare cancer and how his music now offers hope, courage and strength to others facing difficult times.
