Born in Philadelphia, From soul to jazz to fusion to gospel to pop music, Anthony’s
versatile style appeals to a wide range of musical tastes. In 1982, at the
age of twenty-one years old, Anthony left James Madison University to pursue
his calling as a professional musician, ending up in Northern Virginia with
The Sparkplugs. In 1989, he formed his own band. Tony Terry and Clockwork performed
contemporary jazz covers and original music. After more than a year of successful
dates in and around Washington, D.C., he disbanded Clockwork to pursue freelance
work, and to dedicate more of his time to the original music projects, Egypt,
and later Double Digit. Anthony's devotion to his craft and his singular style
of playing have led to openings for such artists as the Kinks, the Busboys,
Steppenwolf, Junior Walker and the All Stars, Weird Al Yankovic, Deniece Williams,
Natalie Cole, and Spyro Gyra, among others. He has toured the United States
and Europe, shared his talents on recordings with Yasmeen, Double Digit, Anthony
Archer, Forte', Manny Fresh, Mel Waiters, Hamilton Loomis, and has performed
live with Motown legend El DeBarge. In 1994, he moved to Houston, Texas and
is currently working as a successful freelance musician, playing soprano, tenor,
and baritone saxes, along with MIDI windsynth, vocals, and percussion. Anthony
continues to work with a variety of musical artists and styles locally and
abroad. In addition to working on his own original music project, he currently
performs with Toast and Jam.
