off the season with a Blues Concert you won’t believe featuring:
Roy Roberts This international award-winning performer knows how
to capture an audience with his live performances that have them
wanting more at the end of the night. The Tony Drake Story This blind,
autistic artist has an amazing God given talent”, says Blues artist Roy
Roberts. “...it didn’t take long for me to realize that the young man
rocking out to the music was in fact blind, but the big surprise was
when his father sat down across from him and placed a sunburst strat
down on his lap for his son to play like most people play a piano.... It
was truly amazing to see what this young cat can do while on the spot
to ad lib along with a bass player and another guitarist. “ - Danny Allen.
