Creative Partners
We are proud to partner with members of the Losing Lulu Community to bring their creativity to the Losing Lulu Summit 2026. You can learn about our Artist Partner, Adlaya’s Art, and our Music Partner, Drew Shannon, below.
Our Music Partner
Drew Shannon
Drew Shannon is a songwriter and guitarist, whose music comes from lived experience, loss, and the quiet weight of things left unsaid. He formed the punk rock band Smoking Lounge Heroes with his best friend, Erik Corlew and cousin Mike Shannon in late 2024, just shortly after his 50th birthday. He raised 4 children, and just sent the youngest off to college last fall. Now an empty nester, along with his wife, he has extra time to dedicate to his band and guitar playing.
You can listen to the band’s debut album, "1992" over all music platforms here. You can click the button below to listen to the Losing Lulu Summit 2026 music generously provided by Drew.
Our Artist Partner
Adlaya’s Art
We are very pleased to be partnering with Laura Harper of Adlaya’s Art to provide support and rewards for the Losing Lulu Summit 2026. Adlaya’s Art is the creative mind behind our grief support cards and coping cards. These cards are designed to help with self care during difficult moments and throughout grief.
Adlaya’s Art will also be providing custom digital stained glass portraits for all our Visionary Sponsors. These portraits are a wonderful way to preserve the memory of your Lulu, and you can view more of Laura’s work here.
