About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Meditation

I have been playing music since I was 12 years old. I got my first electric guitar for Christmas and shortly after, bought a Rush Songbook and learned many chords from it..
This profile is mainly for my original music but I will also post all of my performances on here as well.
Here are the acts I play with
The Anton Experience: Just me with an acoustic guitar, A PA system and some various vocal/guitar effects. I play some of my own music and I also play a variety of cover songs.
The Hill Street All Stars: A band of merry musicians from Hornell. We play lots of rock, funk and soul stuff with our own spin. The band members include:
Dominic Gallichio : Bass Guitar, Vocals
Tony Gallichio : Keyboards, vocals
Steve Brown : Monster Drum kit
Anton Flint : Guitar, Vocals
Anton And Dominic: Dominic from the Hill Street All Stars joins me for some acoustic performances.. Our songlist is diverse and our harmonies are great!
Some of my gig dates are focused entirely around my original music. When they are, It will say so in the gig description.
All gigs are posted at www.akabutter.com
