AN EVENING WITH ANTHONY CARROLL & FRIENDS
From a very young age, Anthony could be seen playing his guitar in front of the television, whether it was the Glen Campbell Show or the Johnny Cash Show. By the time he discovered his parents’ copy of “Meet the Beatles” it was game over. Music went from a passion to an obsession.
A self-taught guitarist, Anthony switched to bass in Savoir Faire, perfectly content to hold down the rhythm section and add some harmony. Fast forward a few years, and he co-founded Dangerous Grange. It was with the Grange that he developed his knack for catchy melodies blended with harmonies and obtuse lyrics.
Shortly after the Grange’s eponymous studio album and their Merrifield in the Park performance, Anthony took over drums in his third band, the New Old Youngsters. Although he could lead the band from behind the kit, he found it difficult to craft songs with any consistency. The clock began ticking loudly in Anthony's ear and urged him to get back to songwriting.
In 2023, Anthony returned to guitar and started writing and recording with a vengeance. Releasing these songs into the wild, he became inspired to take them in front of an audience again. He has assembled a group of top-notch musicians to not only play his music, but also a collection of covers ranging from Brit Pop to the Great American Songbook to Folk classics.
Come join Anthony and Friends for a night of eclectic covers and original music!
