Anthony Yarborough (affectionately referred to as “Tony”) is a native North Carolinian and Baltimorian whose musical influence began early in his life: at 18 months. Tony’s mother Ethel, a mezzo-soprano, recalls Tony first singing venues that included his crib and wherever listeners were gathered. Tony continued to hone his musical skills while playing tuba in the band at Hillside High School, under the direction of Clarke Edgerton.

It was then that Tony realized music would play a keynote in his life. It was also then that he began developing a soulful, yet personable style that continues to seduce audiences throughout the United States.
