Thoroughly loved by all, John Anthony is the hottest music sensation to sweep Delmarva, and the entire East Coast.
Immersed in music from birth, John Anthony grew up in a musical family, becoming infected with the bugs for rhythm and melody from his earliest age, soaking in the plethora of musical influence that surrounded him. An aunt who rocked the boogie-woogie piano, a mother who played and sang praise music, a great-grandfather who got down to some back-home mountain music, to the singers and players of all generations who did everything in between: all played a vital part in instilling the core of John Anthony's musical soul.
These influences can be found in all of the music Anthony creates. From catchy, pop-inspired ballads to blues rock, and rolling, bossa-nova-esque free jams to powerful, soul-drenched effusions, commonly referred to by some as "power pop"; there is no aspect of music that he does not embrace and demonstrate mastery over. Add to that a voice more deft and versatile than most musicians' instrumental skill, spanning four octaves and quoted frequently as that of an angel's, it is easy to see why his music is found endearing to so many.
Any who have seen him perform, however, know that it is more than just his sound which demands attention - it is also his presence. He does not just play his music, John Anthony feels it, his emotion and connection to a piece splayed across his face, resounding through his body, and engulfing the room around him, pulling in audience members, willing or not.
