Anthony D'Antonio: Acoustic Guitar/Harmonica/Vocals/Ukelele/Fiddle/Banjo
Influences
The list goes on.......anything old time and folky (think old protest/union/world war 1 songs) Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, gid tanner and the skillet lickers
Old time, folk, muddy Blues and Country.
With a voice and style not of this era.
With a performance field that stretches across Australia,
Anthony spent 2008-10 travelling and playing , this has included Frances Folk Festivals, Music At The Creek 2008 and 2009 and Woodford Folk festival 2008 and 2009 and many more.
His style is completely raw and his set lists are non existent.
He moves from political songs to satirical talking blues,oldtime lullabies to driving banjo backed war songs
Blending influences from the likes of Bill Monroe, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to create something that is distinctly his own.
Over time, he has had the pleasure to support the likes of John Schumann, Eric Bogle and The Whitlams.
