Anthony Geraci is a gifted pianist, Hammond organist, and composer, who has received numerous awards as well as many nominations from the prestigious Blues Foundation. As an intrepid 4-year old, he demanded a piano and got one. He started playing professionally early in life and realized a musical dream playing piano with such Blues giants as Muddy Waters, BB King, Otis Rush, Chuck Berry and many more. He honed his craft at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where he earned a BA, followed by an MA from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. Anthony now calls Marshfield, Massachusetts home.
He shows his songwriting prowess writing 10 out of the 12 songs on Anthony
