Tony Giordano, known around parts as Tony G. and The G-Factor, has been a fixture in the southeast music scene for the past six years. His amazing energy and charisma on stage, and his hunger for performing and writing, has earned Tony G. the nickname "The Chairman of the Keyboards." Born in Tallahassee, FL, Tony has been pounding the keys and composing pieces since age 12. After a period of playing church gigs, he helped form the local band Full Black Out in 2001. He later joined the jazz/funk unit XINGU, which released the album Xinguism in 2004. Since then, Tony has relocated to Atlanta, GA and has become one of the hardest-working and dependable musicians around.
The G-Factor has performed, shared the stage, and/or jammed with the following artists & bands:
Ancient Harmony, Big City Sunrise, Justin Brogdon, Captain Soularcat, Jeff Coffin, Adam Deitch, Dr. Louis Sullivan, Betsy Franck, Full Black Out, Galactic, Cheme Gastalum, Donna Hopkins, Jason Isbell, Ron Johnson & John Staton (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe), Eric Krasno (Soulive), the Last Waltz Ensemble, Mofro, Moonshine Still, Mountain of Venus, Park Bench Trio, Perpetual Groove, Polyester Pimpstrap, Rick Williams Blues Olympics, SLO, Soul Kitchen, The Sundogs, Tishamingo, Tommy Talton, Derek Trucks, WILX, DJ Williams, XINGU, and more.
Tony. I like "The Live Factor Volume 2". Like it a lot. Thanks. I am still of the opinion that the Plastic Lennon show was the best I saw in 2008. So nice to hear Happy Christmas on your playlist.
