Celebrity Surprise at Open Mic


We never know who will show up at our Open Mic!

At last night's open mic we were surprised by the unbelieveable talent of Tony DeBlois who is both autistic and blind. He is a savant who is musically gifted and a Berklee College grad. Not just a grad, mind you, he finished magna cum laude!

There was a movie made about him.. "Journey of the Heart," (starring Sybil Shepard as his mother) and Tony is the subject of more than one book. Visit his website to read about him and see the long list of his accomplishments.
You'll be inspired. http://www.tonydeblois.com/
