Tony and the Dreamers

PERFORMS AT THETACOMA FREEDOM FAIR
TACOMA, JULY 4, 2000 6:00 TO 8:15 P.M.
ON THE CI SHENNIGANS/ RAMS STAGE

Tony and the Dreamers is comprised of longtime professional musicians drawing on a diversified and unusual blend of music and rhythms reminiscent of the original Motown Sound with strong influences from the New Orleans Cajun Style of the Neville Brothers. Strong backgrounds in classical, jazz and rhythm and blues are all blended to create the unique sound of the Dreamers.
Tony and the Dreamers have been seen locally at such places as the Swiss Tavern in downtown Tacoma and the "Zoobilee" a prestigious fundraiser for the Point Defiance Park and Zoo.

Tony, a veteran pianist who also serves as the lead vocalist for the band, leads the group. Staring his formal training on the Piano at the age of 4, his professional career began at age 13 in the 60's, which sent him on a West Coast tour with headliner Peter & Gordon. After a brief non-musical tour of Viet Nam, Tony returned to the northwest music scene playing with Robert Cray, Jerry Miller and other area artists and friends.

Ably assisted by other extremely talented musicians, Tony and the Dreamers will be sure to knock your socks off.
