A praying man in white has keytar and guitar wings and a train track halo above his head. He is in the sky and there is a rainbow behind him.

Last Stop on the Thought Train

Jump aboard this poetic, sonic journey through the Mind and its fullness ~ its loops, detours, breakdowns & breakthroughs. Blending live looping, beatboxing, guitar, keytar, soulful vocals and surreal spoken word, the show joyfully moves between music, mindfulness, madness & magic. Laugh & cry with the lows & highs, revel in the relatability, and vanish into the vulnerability…

Created & performed by Tom Di Bella, this genre-bending journey is spoken word, theatre, then music looped live in front of you, teetering on the edge of collapse & creation. Tom shares his bliss and the blisters he got on the way there. A raw & thoughtful love song to the Self.
