DCB: While you have been influenced by guitarists, you have your own sound and style that has developed over years of play.
TONY: That's true....
DCB: Sometimes you sound like Wes and sometimes Jimi, but mostly you sound like Tony, which leads to the following - as an artist you have an ear for the music that you play. If you were to place your style, where would you put yourself?
TONY: I like to say I'm a Soul musician, which is to say I play music that has feeling or swing. Music that makes people feel good or makes them dance....which isn't saying that I can't play "serious" music, but I think that if you feel what you're playing, others will too!
DCB: Do you have a favorite type of music per se?
TONY: Yes, I love jazz, almost any kind of jazz... I heard the great drummer Art Blakey say one time "Jazz is the highest form of musical execution", and I believe that.

DC born Rhythm and Bass Guitarist Tony Harrod has been performing with a band since his 9th grade girlfriend convinced him to play with a group at a social club dance. The band (The Mar-Tribs), had three solid songs. Two fast and one slow; "Baby Baby Don't Cry" by the Miracles.
Since the 70's, Tony has played with many bands. He released his own CD under "THP" Tony Harrod Project on CDBaby.com in 2004. Tony is the consummate guitarist and performs with many local musicians. From Reggae tunes with "Englishman" and "Proverbs Reggae Band", to Jazz with Flutologist Arch Thompson and R&B with "One Nite Stand", Tony lays down the rythmn and keeps us swinging in our seats or on the dance floor.
