Billy McLaughlin and special guests will be in Concert on Friday, March 27, 7:30 p.m. at Central Square Cultural and Civic Center, 105 2nd Avenue NE in Glenwood.
We invite you to see an inspirational performer with a wonderful message. Billy McLaughlin is recognized internationally as a world-class guitarist, Emmy Award winning composer and inspirational keynote speaker who has appeared on Billboard’s Top-Ten Chart. McLaughlin has 14 CD releases, 3 National Campus Entertainer of the Year Awards, 5 Minnesota Music Awards and his
decades of national concert touring earned him the Hall of Fame Achievement Award.
But in 1999 McLaughlin vanished from sight as his career crumbled due to a little-known neuro-muscular disorder, Focal Dystonia. After suffering several years without a cure or even a diagnosis, this right-handed guitarist em-barked on an unlikely attempt to regain his career by re-learning his instrument left-handed! His remarkable comeback is captured in a documentary film, Changing Keys, and a concert film called Coming Back Alive.
Now serving as Ambassador for Awareness for the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation,
McLaughlin is the winner of the 2010 Public Leadership in Neurology Award and resides in his home state of Minnesota where he is proudly raising two boys.
