Alone ... Together
Tony Juliano performs solo, singing and accompanying himself on acoustic guitar and harmonica. There are some sweet examples of this on his new CD, "Solo Acoustic".
Sometimes, he appears in a Duo, with one of the singers from the troup, on guitar, bass, flute, conga drums, keyboard ... or whatever.
TJ's repertoire covers an amazing eight decades worth of music: rock 'n roll, blues, reggae, ska, Latin rock, rhythm & blues, oldies, calypso, country, pop, bossa nova, rockabilly, folk, satire, standards, swing and more.
Tony Juliano & Company only performs 100% live music, played by 100%
living, breathing musicians, with real instruments, right before your eyes.
You will never witness them with pre-recorded, sequenced, karaoke-type
back-up music tracks. TJ is opposed to this so-called "power single" or
"power duo" approach, on both professional and ethical grounds. This
practice allows employers to get a full-band sound, while only paying for
a solo or duo. But, most importantly, it puts deserving musicians out of work.
