An Introduction...
Accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, Tony mixes the touching with the hard-hitting, the poignant with a laugh. He sings about Humankind and it's world, reflecting his own oblique views on life as a member of the human race (which he is determined to win!). Another side to Tony's performance is a selection of traditional songs and tunes on frailing banjo - an instrument he fell in love with at the tender age of 14 and which he has only recently had the courage to produce in public!
Influences are: TOM WAITS (no.1), BOB DYLAN, KURT WEILL, MARTIN SIMPSON, LOUDON WAINWRIGHT, THE BEATLES (except for Ringo), RANDY NEWMAN, JAKE THAKERAY, SHAKESPEARE, Oh, and loads and loads more...
You can hear some of Tony's music on the 'Sample Sounds' page and also over at My Space
