About Me


I am session guitar player, producer, songwriter and teacher in the Boston Area. I play/played Guitar for the following artists: The Worlds Greatest Sinners The Montgomerys Garvy J. Simon Ritt Alto Reform School Relapse Wendi Faren John Cremona The Ultrasonic Rawk Opera The Black Fortess Of Opium Give Top Heavy Brad Byrd Nate Gibson and The Gashouse Gang John Desmond The Fighting Cocks
Here is the bio form the Worlds Greatest Sinners Website:
"Tony Savarino (guitar) has played in every band in Boston. No, really: The Dents, The Rudds, Garvey J, The Montgomerys, Alto Reform School, and so many more that you'd think we were lying to you. Lest that happen, we will just say that The Noise voted Tony its Favorite Guitar Player in 2004 and 2005, and its probably because he moves so easily from rock to pop to funk to reggae to country to soul (though naturally, we think he does the latter best). But it might also be because he matches his guitars to his silk ties, the fashionable bastard."Tony Savarino is available for:
* Local sessions or gigs in Boston, NY, CT, RI, NH
* Remote sessions via files (We have a Pro Tools guy here in boston)
* Sessions or gigs involving travel
* Clinics or educational appearances
• Guitar Lessons
