A Morning with tony Gebhard: An Extraordinary Musician, and a Dynamic Individual  

Blind Abilities presents a special guest, tony Gebhard. Tony is a talented musician who plays multiple instruments, writes performs and produces his mucic on several albums. Tony lost his vision at an early age, and tells his heart-wrenching story of his vision loss and is means for overcoming the physical and emotional trauma that ensued. Listen as Tony describes his blindness training and the critical role played by his TVI. Tony tells us of his discovery of his musical talents and how music, specifically heavy metal music, helped him regain his life and his focus and led him to an already fruitful career as a musician at the early age of 20. As usual, Jeff and Pete delve into the nitty-gritty of Tony’s music: his instruments, his guitars and amps, his production tools and the musicians who influenced tony’s music.
