Tony de Grassi
Overview
Solo acoustic guitar vocalist singing the songs of Paul Simon, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, Peter Paul and Mary and others "folk" artists. Also perform a number of light rock favorites from the 70's. Performer has a superb voice. Travel with a compact Bose amplifier that produces crystal clear sound for both voice and guitar. Best suited for small
venues and private parties(50 or fewer people)that cater to the "boomer" crowd. I have a portable generator for settings where electricity is not available.

April 25, 2016Great Sound, He was great for our event!
Tony was a pleasure to work with. We needed a folk song- style sounding singer for our Retirement Community's Earth Day event, and he delivered fantastically! Tony had great communication with our team from the start, came on time for the event, prepared, and did everything we asked from him plus more! He is wonderful for sing-alongs and adapted very well to the ever-changing program. Thanks so much for all your help with making the event a success, Tony!

January 16, 2014Great Music, Great Evening!
Tony did a great job in singing some old time "folk" classics and creating a warm environment for everyone. He arrived in plenty of time to set-up and was easy to coordinate with for appropriate break times. Would recommend him to friends if they were doing a similar event.

July 12, 2013Highlight of our party
We hired Tony for a backyard garden party, he was perfect!! He arrived early, set up quickly, played and sang as people arrived and then became the main focus while we ate lunch. Our gathering ranged from young adults to people in their seventies. Everyone loved him. He agreed to stay an extra hour because no one wanted him to leave. Great voice!!

About
Recently retired baby boomer who has been singing and playing guitar for friends and co-workers for 25 years. Have been told for years that "you should do something more with that voice". Began playing publicly a couple of years ago and the response has been tremendous. I Love outdoor settings. Will play for any where from 45 to 90 minutes
