TOMATOES TRIED TO KILL ME
BUT BANJOS SAVED MY LIFE
AN AWARD WINNING, INSPIRATIONAL TRUE STORY
Everyone has a story. Your story matters.
Keith Alessi had a story.
He was neither an actor nor a musician, and his journey to the stage was a highly improbable one. But this show is a reflection of the power and purpose our stories can have when we share them with the world in an authentic and honest way.
The grassroots sound of the banjo lures you in and brings you back to a simpler time in life, as Keith takes you on the journey of his unique personal story about how music was the catalyst to ultimately saving his life.
A heartwarming, true story of transformation, this show is like a homecoming, and has captivated audiences internationally.
Everyone has a story.

JOHN REISCHMAN & THE JAYBIRDS
Like the powerful mandolinist and composer at its helm, John Reischman and the Jaybirds fashion a stylish take on bluegrass that seamlessly blends original songs and instrumentals with Appalachian old-time music for a truly unique band sound. Now in their 20th year, with seven acclaimed albums and two Juno nominations, the Jaybirds are simultaneously innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned and 21st-century contemporary.
Reischman and the Jaybirds make effortless-sounding music that strikes its own balance of technical virtuosity and emotional honesty, and finds its own relaxed voice in a repertoire that comfortably embraces bluegrass and old-time classics, blues, gospel, original instrumentals and songs, and the Beatles.
The musical vision that propels the Jaybirds may be Reischman’s, but there is no singular star here that outshines the other.
