About Me

Originally from Boston, MA now based in Key West, FL, and the former lead singer of the band, Mindflow. Singer/songwriter stuff ala Ben Harper and Jack Johnson- I play a lot of gigs as an acoustic duo or trio but have a bad ass band in Boston who I get to play with in the summer and whenever else we can make it work-
The new studio album, I GIVE YOU THE SKY, is finally done! Cd's are now available to buy through the website at www.tonyrobertsmusic.com and on iTunes, Rhapsody and other download sites The album was recorded in 2007 and 2008 in Key West, FL and Boston, MA and features Sam Waite joining me on vocals on many of the songs and I even got the guys in the band in Boston to play on a few songs too:) I'll be posting up songs from the album here on myspace...The track listing is:1. Up up up and away 2. Over your head 3. Say my name 4. Love songs and melodies 5. A belated Valentine 6. I am a soldier 7. Kyla's still awake 8. Girl 9. Rise 10. I give you the sky 11.
