Hide AdIt will be launched at Worthing Leisure Centre on July 21, from 1pm-2pm.
The band formed three years ago and their first performance was at a club night for people with learning disabilities.
Richard DeNiese, sports and leisure development officer for the Out There project, said: “When the band first got together, they played at the club night and were so successful they’ve gone on to perform at lots of other events.
“They’ve also played alongside mainstream bands at the Rockhouse in Brighton. They are very popular and it’s great to see how much confidence they’ve gained through this project.”
Guests will meet band members and hear snippets from the album. They will also be able to buy a copy.
