Tony Furtado Band
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef (he’s also an accomplished sculptor, but that’s another story). All of the music of America is in Tony’s music. Relix hit the nail on the head when writing of Tony: “True talent doesn’t need categories."
Tony has performed worldwide at top venues and appeared at such prestigious music festivals as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Jazz Aspen, Kerrville Folk Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Sisters Folk Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival and countless others.
Tony Furtado's band will include Luke Price (Love Dean), Todd Sickafoose (Ani DiFranco, Anais Mitchell), Tristan Clarridge (Bee Eaters), Simon Chrisman (Bee Eaters), and Stephanie Schneiderman.
