Yes, it’s true, “America’s Got Talent,”
and some of that talent
is right here in the Bay Area.
Tony Thomas is an entertainer in the purest form of the word.
He plays several instruments, does great impersonations,
and sings—and oh, boy can he sing!
If you are looking for a band composed of anything from a sultry
singer
to a full 12-piece orchestra check out Tony’s talented
musicians.
Do you love classic rock from the ‘60s, 70s & 80s,
top 40’s, broadway;
or do you prefer the “cool” jazz of decades past?
Tony can put together a band that will suit any style of music.
Called
“The Man of Many Voices,”and “Mr. Entertainer,”
Tony has been compared to the famous Danny Gans.
Like this remarkable performer, Tony has spent years
performing in many New York and Las Vegas hot spots,
bring the voices of Nat “King” Cole, Ray Charles,
Lou Rawls,
Frank Sinatra and many, many more, to life!
Some of his shows include a special tribute to Michael Jackson.
There
are several places around town where you can listen to the sensational
sounds of Tony and (or) one of his bands; among them, Philthy
Phil’s, Oyster Shuckers, Woody’s, Sportster’s
Bar & Grill and Bent Elbow.
Recently at Sportster’s Bar and Grill, a popular neighborhood
sports bar,
Tony helped with a benefit to raise funds for Frank Smeltz,
the beloved father of one of the owners, Robin Lucarelli.
Tony is a huge hit among many of our local politicians,
and was invited to perform at the inaugural ball of Charlie
