Tony Rey is a dynamo of unbridled passion when performing live. After playing guitar, singing, writing and experimenting on his own throughout his teen years, Tony began studying at Richland Community College’s respected music program. After a few years, he moved on to study at the world-renowned University of North Texas. Those years of study stretched Tony both as a writer and as a performer.

Tony has performed a wide range of musical styles including rock, blues, jazz, pop, reggae, R&B, folk, funk, rap, salsa, calypso, country, and more. He has worked as a sideman for such bands as funk/ska band Citizen Lane and the Rodney Booth Big Band. Tony has aslo been the frontman for a number of groups, including the art-rock collective Terra Firma, classic rock cover bands ZenFest and Leroy, his own funk/rock/reggae-influenced original band the Groovadelic Revue, and the R&B party band Blue Light District. The defining element in Tony Rey’s performing style is his ability to take whatever emotion the music is expressing and play it to the hilt, whether it’s gentle tenderness, high drama, absurd silliness or full-tilt insanity.
