Move over Mozart! Step aside Mr Hendrix....Anthony's musical prowess is about to take the world by storm.
He's played to screaming crowds across the globe with his avant garde performances in London and Madrid among his finest. A true renaissance musician.
Anthony started playing guitar in 2014 with a half size acoustic and soon progressed to three-quarter size while taking private lessons.
His school district does not offer guitar as an instrument choice for all grades, which is god awful stupid and especially ironic since he
performed with his class at graduation to the crowd's amazement. See that performance here.
In summer of 2019 Anthony received a kick-ass full size black Fender Strat electric guitar and promptly joined Bandworks, which is a company that groups kids together in a band situation complete with stage performances at the end of the week. Sometimes with a good group, other times so-so, but he became elated with the experience. He was in separate morning and afternoon sessions with a different group of kids and play list, in which he had to learn a total of 30 songs in just 3 weeks. He did Super Great!
In late 2019 he was signed up in Bandworks' 8 week session, which was to end with his group playing at an adult venue in Mill Valley called the Sweetwater. Alas, it never happened due to a mandatory rolling power outage by PG&E that wound up cancelling the event, but he did play at the local Bandworks stage. In 2020 he was signed up for another 8 week spring session with the same adult venue only to have Covid-19 force a cancel of the entire session as well as the session that followed. He was sssooooo bummed, especially since his friends Mila and Cole were going to join with him.
As 2020 roles along he is taking private lessons online with his original teacher and playing for his entire neighborhood every Wednesday evening at the 8pm Whoop and Holler out your back porch. We found out recently that our amp reaches two streets over in all directions ...and he does have a fan base.
Enjoy his performances below!
