Tony, born in Scotland to an Irish family, has a flourishing solo performing career as well as being a hugely in-demand session guitarist who has played with Phil Cunningham, Kevin Burke, Natalie McMaster and many others. Though he does not sing, his music exhibits a strong, moving passion that is an absolute pleasure to see and hear.
+
Listen to his version of "Sleive na M'Ban (Woman's Mountain)," that he dedicates to midwives on the ocasion of the birth of his son, Finn, and, say our Caltech friends, "you'll also find what a charming fellow he is." It's at:
+
http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=jYyCcJ_0w08
+
Caltech's folk music bookers Rex and Nick add, "He does not confine himself to Celtic music and he includes other European traditional material as well. His latest recording, 'Mysterious Boundaries,' shows that his huge talent has no boundaries, as he tackles the classical music of Bach, Couperin, Monteverdi, Satie, and Granados with wonderful results.

See his passion for music and the guitar as he speaks -- with musical excerpts -- about this venture. It's at:

On an earlier recording, his popular version of Charlie Mingus' "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" shows that he is a maestro in the jazz world as well. It's at:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqphR8wgWtY 
+
As Peter says, at the end of the day, he grew up with  traditional Celtic music and he remains firmly grounded in the tradition. Tony doesn't get to California very often, so this is a rare opportunity to hear him live.

+
Phil tells us, "It's my third appearance at 'TopTune,' an insane live show where songwriters perform one of their own songs, then, along with a randomly-chosen partner, have 17 minutes to invent a new one. This thing is crazy popular and it's no wonder, with talent on board like fellow musician Dale LaDuke, a favorite of mine. And the panel of celebrity judges includes Keegan-Michael Key. You get a lot of entertainment for your 20 bucks, and reservations are highly recommended."
