@mrcooki3 We'll check into it. Conrad loves playing festivals, and we'll be doing more touring this year starting in the Summer. Maybe you should start a petition in Montreal. Ha!
@BiboLesPaul A lot of blind people have extremely acute senses of feel, hearing, etc.
I guess at the end of day if you want to accomplish something, you make the best of what you've got and figure it out. Where there's a will there's a way.
@BiboLesPaul He's certainly not the first blind guitarist and won't be the last. From Jose Feleciano to Jeff Healey to Johnny Hiland, Conrad is just following the lead of very successful and talented musicians. He's doing a great job and I wish him all the best. Don't forget blind pianists like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Ronnie Milsap either.
Is Conrad blind to where he can see *nothing*, or does he have just a hint of vision allowing him to see where he's at on the fretboard? Lord, he's awesome!!! Can't wait to see his records for sale :D Keep it up man!
@brandonman94 Conrad has no vision in his left eye. He has a 10-15% field of view in his right eye, and even that is very blurry. He plays by feel almost exclusively. If he needs to put the fret board right next to his face he can see approximately where he's at, but mostly he uses his sense of hearing to adjust VERY quickly if he misses a fret.
Reminds me of Johnny Winter. Maybe Johnny could mentor him. But only about music, not the lifestyle, ha ha.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the grand finale of time and space.
Seriously though, really well done Conrad. Possibly the next generation of blues music? No 'possibly' about it.

It simply cannot get into my head... How can he have such feeling for picking and frets if he's blind since birth?
Amazing.
