About this user

As soon as roots-rock songwriter Anthony Walker takes the stage, you can hear a pin drop in what was once a deafening room. The music... the voice... the stories... the performance... all combine to completely capture the attention of any venue he is performing in. That's Anthony Walker's reputation these days, and with his new full-length album, This City Won't Sleep, set for an April 2011 release, music fans from all over the country will soon be stopped dead in their tracks by one of New Jersey's finest storytellers.

Fresh off the 2010 release of a widely praised acoustic EP (The Sea Goes on Forever), This City Won't Sleep features Walker and his band, The Medicine Chest, performing eleven tunes complimented by some of the area's finest studio players. The record represents the full range of the Walker experience -- from the mysterious murder-ballad, "Once and For All," to the intimate, piano-driven "Oh, My Sierra," to the sheer power of electrified rocker, "Sundowners," to a stripped-down reworking of a Walker mainstay, the deeply moving "Darlene."

Like some of his favorite artists⎯Neil Young, Gram Parsons, The Rolling Stones and The Black Crowes⎯Walker's music seamlessly - yet distinctively - combines the classic elements of the blues, rock and roll, folk, and soul. His stories are smart, evocative, current, and personal, and will sneak up on you with a lyrical weight you'll soon learn is strikingly consistent. Reminiscent of his own influences, Anthony Walker's music brings you someplace completely new and distinctive, while maintaining that comfortable, classic feeling that "I've been here before."

With his new recordings in hand, Walker is prepped to continue expanding his touring schedule, which has already included many cross-country stops (highlighted by a performance at the esteemed South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas). Equally as comfortable performing an intimate, acoustic solo set as he is "plugging in" and reenergizing the same set of songs, Anthony's number one priority remains getting out on the road and sharing his songs with any and all fans of American roots music. With career-defining tunes currently in his pocket, Walker is bound for continued success.
