Interview: Keith Alessi of TOMATOES TRIED TO KILL ME BUT BANJOS SAVED MY LIFE at Orlando Fringe
By: Clarissa Moon
After a successful career as the CEO of several prominent companies, Keith Alessi retired to pursue his life-long passion of playing the banjo. Weeks later, he received a deadly cancer diagnosis. TOMATOES TRIED TO KILL ME BUT BANJOS SAVED MY LIFE at the Orlando Fringe tells Alessi's story of how music helped him heal.
In a special Fringe edition of "Clarissa Moon Talks to the Stars," I talk to Alessi about the boardroom, the banjo, and more!
The Orlando Fringe ends May 27. For more information, visit orlandofringe.org.
