Tony is a refugee of the original punk and New Wave eras, having cut his teeth as bass and guitar player for power pop mavens Nine Day Wonder on Cheektowaga Records in New York City. His career on mandolin, guitar, bass and percussion has taken him from venues like CBGB's and the Bitter End to a three years as house drummer for the renown Kismet School of Danse Oriantal in Salt Lake.
