Tony DeBlois Coming to Perham – A Blind and Autistic Musician with Savant Syndrome

Aug 31, 2021 | Updates

On Monday, September 20th, Empowering Kids and the Perham Center for the Arts will host a concert featuring Tony DeBlois at the Perham High School Studio (enter main High School doors and follow the signs). The Concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. and free-will donations are very much appreciated! A huge thanks to Service Food/The Market and the Fergus Falls Center for the Arts for sponsoring this event and sharing this experience with the Perham community!
Born weighing 1 lb. 3/4 oz was only the first obstacle that Tony had to overcome. This multi-instrument musician from Randolph, MA is blind, autistic, and has Savant Syndrome. He has been playing the piano since age two. He was the subject of the 1997 CBS made-for-TV Movie of the Week “Journey of the Heart” which was inspired by actual events in Tony’s life. This is currently playing on the Hallmark Channel.
