   About Anthony D'Amato
Anthony D'Amato is twenty-one years old. He writes songs about things and then he plays them for people.

Some of those people are other artists like Jesse Malin, Marah, Willie Nile, Quarry Hill, Hymns, Kieran McGee, and Joe D'Urso, who have taken D'Amato along to open up shows. He's played at venues all over New York and New Jersey (including The Bitter End, The Stone Pony, Bowery Electric, Pianos, Public Assembly, Postcrypt, The Saint, The Sidewalk Cafe, and Niagara), at other popular East Coast music halls (like The Tin Angel in Philadelphia and The Pour House in Raleigh), and at a variety of music festivals (including Light of Day, The Wave Gathering, and The New Jersey Folk Festival, where he was selected out of more than 100 other songwriters for a showcase slot in 2009). His songs have been featured on radio stations in New York and New Jersey. All while attending Princeton University.

His new record, Shades of the Prison House, comes out in July. The album was recorded in a dorm room, with D'Amato playing acoustic/electric/steel guitars, bass, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and accordion in addition to handling vocal duties and producing the whole thing.

He grew up in New Jersey. He is currently still growing up.

Performance for Jason Harper's Unsere Kunst, a collection of one-take, one-shot live acoustic performances by indie singer/songwriters.

Come to a show.

East Avenue (2008) **Here's what people are saying:

"Really struck a chord with me....extremely talented" - Rich Russo, Host of 'Anything Anything' on WRXP 101.9

"With nimble guitar-playing and pertinent lyrics, Anthony D'Amato sits among the cross-hairs of the indie and folk aesthetic...For all the musical talent contained in "Shades of the Prison House," humility pervades earnest lyrics about the peaks and valleys of human interaction." - Nico's NYC

"[A] very talented 'youngster'" - Richard Skelly, Asbury Park Press

"Pretty darn good singer songwriter material. He also has a previous album of material that just may be pretty good, but so far I can’t get past his upcoming album “Shades of the Prison House” due in July" - Slowcoustic
