The band's mission was to use music to connect with individuals around the world. They wanted to give fans an avenue to express their emotions and encouragement to learn, grow and change. To commemorate this motivation and let their fans' stories live on, sosaveme is opening their website as a forum. They encourage listeners to share their favorite shows, conversations, lyrics and related experiences there.

sosaveme will perform five last shows surrounding their home state of Michigan. In addition, sosaveme will post a documentary in March, chronicling their journey and showcasing the individuals they've met across the way. Everyone has a story - and they're determined to tell as many as they can. Watch the documentary trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/embed/706g0zmVf44
