Tom Hyslop - Tom Around The World

Donation protected
For many of us, Tom Hyslop came into our lives as an instant friend and "brother in blues". A veritable encyclopedia of American blues, soul, and roots music, Tom has the uncanny (and gifted) ability to articulate aspects of musical performance that help people everywhere connect with the art we love so much. It's this same ability to connect that has blessed him with a network of friends that span the world. And those of us who have been fortunate enough to enjoy his friendship over the years, have been blessed right back.

It's in this spirit of love and friendship that we're holding this special "music salute" to our friend, fan, and educator. On July 15th, Rosa's Lounge  in Chicago is hosting a collection of world-class artists, all celebrating Tom and raising money to help him and his family during a challenging time.

Tom was first diagnosed with cancer in August of 2012. Since his diagnosis, he's been subjected to batteries of tests and treatments that while administered with the goal of making him well, often leave him unable to lead the kind of healthy, active life that come so easy to most of us. The ups and downs of these treatments have at times taken a toll.

We hope that through our efforts, we can make Tom's recovery just a little easier, and get our good friend back to 100% for the sake of all of us, but most importantly for the sake of him and his family.

Join us at Rosa's on the 15th as we honor Tom with "Tom Around The World - Chicago Edition " and tell him how much you love him.

And if you can't be there in person , be there for him, his family, and his recovery in spirit, and consider making a donation on this page. Give as little as you can or as much as you're able.

Dig deep to help your friend and ours - a husband, a father, a grandfather, a writer, a musician, a teacher - in his battle against cancer, and salute a wonderful human being with your donation or your presence.
