Boston, Massachusetts-based pianist/composer Anthony Geraci won a Blues Music Award (BMA) for Instrumentalist Piano/Pinetop Perkins Award in 2021 and 2023 and has been nominated for Seventeen BMA’s from the Blues Foundation in Memphis, TN, reflecting four decades of musical excellence both in studio and onstage. Anthony was nominated for Two 2023 BMA’s in the following categories: Instrumentalist-Piano, and Band of the Year.
Anthony’s new CD, “Tears in my Eyes” is slated for Spring 2024 release. Walter Trout said: “This album is his latest musical exploration. I feel like he grows with each new release. Along with his stellar band, he continues to put out vital and beautiful art. His playing continues to be about honesty, tradition, invention, expression, and even humor. I am honored to call him my friend.”
A native of New Haven, CT, Geraci witnessed the live performances of blues greats including B.B. King, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Rogers, providing a world class blues education at an early age that would later come full circle when he had the opportunity to perform with them, and many other blues icons. Geraci graduated from the Berklee College of Music with a B.A. and holds an M.A. from Skidmore College. An original member of Sugar Ray and the Bluetones, and Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, Geraci has recorded extensively with both groups, in addition to a host of iconic traditional blues artists and leading contemporary acts. Anthony has recorded with Lazy Lester, Big Walter Horton, Carey Bell, Snooky Pryor, Odetta, Charlie Musselwhite, Sugaray Rayford, Kenny and Raful Neal, Debbie Davies, Welch/Ledbetter, Big Jack Johnson, Kilborn Alley, G.E. Smith and many more.
The Boston Blues All-Stars are: Barrett Anderson - guitar and vocals, Paul Loranger - bass and Kurt Kalker on drums.
