Feedbag recording artist Tommy Anton empowers audiences with his unique style of mystical folk-pop. His debut CD features guest musicians Leigh Foxx (Blondie, Patti Smith, Cyndi Lauper) on bass and Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, XTC, Mr. Mister) on drums. Although his CD has enjoyed airplay across the country, it is his live performances with wife Abby on keyboards and vocals that have garnered him a growing fanbase.
Anton has played with national and international touring acts, including Shannon McNally, Teitur, the Zen Tricksters, and Arthur Brown. He has also played rhythm for New Jersey artists April Smith, Woodfish, Jon Caspi, Michael Ferrentino, Bobby Strange and the Josh Zandman Trio. Recent performance highlights include Solfest, Burning Man, the Natural Building Colloquium, Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, as well as the Raw Spirit Festival.
Originally from Austin, Texas, Anton is a two time Asbury Music Award nominee and a favorite on the local scene, as well as an active coast-to-coast touring artist. A six-year 100% organic, raw foodist, Tommy often bicycles to shows, trailer and equipment in tow.
