The Big Easy Revue now return to the Firehouse Cultural Center Saturday, September 10: Thomas ‘TBone’ Hamilton – Bass & Vocals, John Puhl – Guitar & Vocals, Eric Mullins – Sax, Eric Elsner – Drums. Don’t miss it! This music project was started in 2013. TBone stated at that time: “I have been in the music business for the past 25 years. Over this time span, I have met great musicians, many of whom I call friends. As time was going by, I came to the realization that some of them were passing away, and I strongly felt that I had to capture the sound of these “local” cats while they were still here and “blowing” as good as ever. This was the genesis for the Blues All Stars.” TBone Hamilton has released his first music video “My Babe” in 2020. His 4th produced album entitled “A Tribute to Willie Dixon” was dedicated to one of his bass playing heroes – Mr. Willie Dixon. TBone has been featured (along with many other over-the-top blues acts in Florida), on the cover of a national blues magazine. He discussed his contributions to the American art form of Blues on the West Coast of Florida. TBone maintains an active performance schedule. This includes leading his 8-piece Big Easy Revue Band, and straight ahead Jazz concerts.

Michael A. Harvey, Ph.D., ABPP, provides training and consultation on mental health issues having to do with hearing loss, including consultation and training for audiologists regarding motivational interviewing and the psychological aspects of patient care. As a Clinical Psychologist, he has a private practice in Framingham, Mass. And as a consultant faculty at Salus University, where he taught online courses relating to the psychosocial aspects of hearing loss. He has published over 50 articles in the field, and his latest books are “Listen with the Heart: Relationships and Hearing Loss” and “The Odyssey of Hearing Loss: Tales of Triumph.” Please join us for a Zoom presentation. Register in advance: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwvcequrjosE9cgBMjiQpTsbNa7cm1OBvkr - You will then receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Formulating one’s identity as a person with hearing loss is easier said than done. Identity formation is a so-called hero’s journey akin to finding your way through a dense forest while coping with anxiety and uncertainty. This lecture will provide navigational tools for this journey – a psychological compass of sorts. I will describe the process of how identities are formed, methods of diversifying and strengthening one’s identity, resolving the alienating between two worlds' experiences, coping with “ordinary evil,” and how our stories can transform us in profound ways
