In Peekskill, the featured artist will be Matthew Gross. He was shot in the head atop the Empire State Building in 1997. Miraculously, he survived. And while changed forever, Matthew is still an amazing performer. The following links (a NY Times article and video segment from CBS News) tell his story:
