DC Tanner & Tony Janflone Sr.

For decades Tony Janflone Jr has been performing in numerous venues and for numerous audiences.

Music has been his life, his passion and the way he has supported himself and his family

This year, Tony had his appendix taken out. His medical insurance left him with a huge bill. Shortly after that, he was in a auto accident with his wife. The accident caused 3 herniated discs in his neck and a new set of bills. Performing as he has done for the last 3 decades, has become difficult and painful. On

January 1st, he will stop performing to get his health back.

Over the years he has given his time and talent to help others in their time of need. After seeing him

sell a guitar to pay for his medical bills, friends of his have stepped up and said, "We want to Help."

The artists that were contacted quickly gave their support.

As friends of Tony Janflone Jr., we are honored to be able to help.
