Great Lake Swimmer, TONY DEKKER will be playing a handful of dates in the U.S. beginning this month. DEKKER wrote and performed the chillingly beautiful score for SONG SUNG BLUE.

Tony first learned of the film while touring in Europe when his manager sent him a copy of the rough cut. After experiencing LIGHTNING & THUNDER's love story, Tony offered to do whatever it would take to create and perform the film's score as the world premiere loomed only a month away. I’m extremely grateful that Tony has contributed his amazing talents to the filmmaking process of SONG SUNG BLUE and created a soulful body of work that gives me chills every time I hear it.


So grab your wife, husband, significant other, or all the above and get out to one the GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS upcoming shows. You won't be disappointed. TORO MAGAZINE has a wonderful clip of TONY in action. Check it out [ here ].


Embedded in this post is T. DEKKER’s cover of NEIL DIAMOND’s 1972 #1 hit, SONG SUNG BLUE. This recording is featured during the end credit sequence of the award-winning documentary, SONG SUNG BLUE. Enjoy!
