He has recorded and performed with major artists for years. Co-Mando named Anthony as one of the top mandolin players in the world and rated his mandolin workshop as one of the best in the country. He is accomplished on the banjo, fiddle, and guitar as well as the mandolin and has been recognized as a talented songwriter worldwide. Anthony co-founded The Hickory Project, which showcased at the prestigious IBMA Convention in both 2002 and 2004.
