He began as a gospel piano player and singer in his teens and took up guitar and banjo during the folk era. He became a professional musician in 1970 in New York and played everywhere from Gerde’s Folk City to Carnagie Hall.
In 1975 he bought a telecaster and put together a highly successful country band. For the next 5 years he toured from Nashville to Las Vegas. He opened for or played back up for Kitty Wells, Bill Anderson, Cal Smith, Ian Tyson and lots of other friends and heroes.
In 1980 he moved to LA and put together a band. He played the Palomino, the Cowboy, the Crazy Horse Saloon, The Cowboy Palace and lots of other clubs. In the late 80s he met and married Jo Ann, and bought a ranch near Tehachapi. These days he fishes, and does never-ending repairs on his ranch in a climate that could "take the hide off a rhino."
He’s never lost his love of music and has re-released his CD, Up In the Rafters, a collection of country songs from the LA days. He’s also released Music from Redwing Ranch, a CD of his cowboy songs. Shake & Bake was on the sound track of a surf video. Dr. Demento used to play his novelty songs, and Let’s Ride Into the Sunset Together was used in the opening episode of the TV series, Push, Nevada and in an episode of Wedding Stories. He recently wrote and recorded Santana Winds a song about the California wildfires, Do You Care? about the future of the planet, and a song about a little lost dog for animal rescue organizations. He’s in the process of recording a new CD.
"I still like to get out and shake it up once in a while." Tony says. In recent years he’s played at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum, The Kern County Museum Cowboy Days, Elko, Monterey, the Lone Pine Film Festival, Calico Ghost Town and hundreds of other concerts, clubs, campfires, cowboy gatherings and parties for the love of the music. He works alone with his flat top guitar or with his band and knows a wide variety of songs, old and new. He’s a born entertainer and after 50 years of playing is still going strong.
He played in various bands including: The Lizards, the Hollywood Cowboys, the Vice Squad and CC Waterback.
