TONY KAMEL & REDWOOD REVUE
$15 ADV $20 DOS
Tony Kamel (formerly the front man of Wood & Wire) is a GRAMMY nominated singer/songwriter who’s shows, both solo and w/ a full band, showcase his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist and compelling story teller - going off the cuff and engaging with the audience, playing guitar and clawhammer banjo for a night of entertainment beyond some dude simply singing his songs. Whether it’s a raucous festival crowd, or a listening room, he finds a way to sync up with the folks he’s in the room with. But really, it’s all about the songs. For that he teamed up with legendary Texas songwriter Bruce Robison and his analog focused production company (The Next Waltz) for his debut solo record of original tunes, “Back Down Home” - which held the #1 spot on the Alt. Country Charts for three weeks. With new songs, some newfound viral fame, he went back in The Next Waltz studio this spring to record his follow up set for release this fall. If he’s not on your radar now, he will be soon.
