Tony started playing violin at age 4. He studied classical music at the Oberlin Conservatory, the Curtis Institute, and the Aspen Music School. At age 16, he quit classical music cause it’s a weird life and career. After dropping out of college, Tony played in several San Francisco-based bands, including Alfred, Laughingstock, Santo Subito, and for 10 years, Tarentel. He has played in venues up and down the west coast, east coast, Amsterdam, Spain, and in a lot of forests across the U.S.
Many years ago, the independent label Digitalis released Tony’s only solo record, Light in the West. Those tracks are below.
