Thanks to all those who keep hearting the songs. I truly appreciate the support.
After releasing two EP's between 1995 and 1998 and his first full-length album “Naked and Alive” in 1999, singer-songwriter Christian Anthony hit the road determined to rival Ani DiFranco's tour schedule and to build a fan base outside of the LA scene.
During the next few years of touring, folks were taking notice of the New Jersey native, cementing opportunities to open for Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Chris Isaak and Natalie Merchant. Reviews were equally exciting:
"Fabulous. Phenomenal. Spectacular. Breathtaking. Unbelievable. He has the look, the sound and the talent. ...Christian is going to be the beginning of a new craze of solo male performers." Carol White, The Pacifican
After nine national tours through 33 states and Europe, he decided to take a sabbatical from performing to focus on writing and recording new material.
The new album, “A Patch of Blue” was aided by co-producers Wade Biery and Jean Marie Horvat and features a collection of great radio-friendly songs.
He is currently on a long sabbatical, being a dad and running a creative agency. maybe if enough albums sell - he'll start working on the next album which is tilting toward Americana/Folk/Pop.
