A Make-A-Wish Mid-South benefit concert, We Are Powerful, is scheduled for 4 p.m. Nov. 22 at the Bill Baker Amphitheater.

Austin Daniels, also known as AXD, and Hunter Pippin previously appeared on KHOZ’s "Around The Table" for a Make-A-Wish benefit. The upcoming concert will feature Daniels’ music, with the exception of a few covers. Other performers include Joe Hewitt and Revelation.

Daniels said only one or two songs in his set were written before his son’s cancer diagnosis. The rest reflect the emotions and internal battles he faced, with the show moving from struggle to triumph.

The concert is free to enter. Daniels credited Pippin with the idea to make the concert free, with all donations going to Make-A-Wish Mid-South.

Pippin, who works with Daniels, said he reached out to Make-A-Wish after hearing the story about Daniels’ son to help make the concert happen.

Daniels said the organization touched his life deeply. His son, Jacob, was diagnosed with cancer on his fourth birthday. Make-A-Wish granted a wish for him on his fifth birthday, sending the family to Disney World. Jacob is now about to turn 11.

Daniels said he has long desired to give back. He is a rapper who explores a variety of musical styles. More was discussed on the broadcast.

The full interview with Daniels and Pippin is available on the "Around The Table" Facebook page.
