Anthony Garcia is a songwriter, guitarist, and classically trained pianist based in Austin. His musical style has been described as “cinematic Americana,” a genre that interweaves songwriting with expanding, quasi-orchestral sections. Originally from Lubbock, Garcia draws inspiration for the mood and cinematic feel of his music from a hometown rich in music history. His music melds his early love of guitar-based heavier rock, the classical piano he studied formally in college and after, the modern chill of electronica, and mixing them all with the dusty twang, storytelling, and songwriting aspects of Americana. His travels throughout the world have exposed him to a variety of cultures and music that have contributed to his expansive repertoire and knowledge of musical styles.
His original music mixes a range of influences: the guitar hero tradition of Zeppelin and Hendrix; lyrics and songs that pay homage to Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen; and haunting violin inspired by J.S. Bach. He often switches between genres within a set, and sometimes switches between instruments within a single song. A lover of rock, blues, classical piano, and Spanish guitar, and a fan of soulful vocals and old standards, Garcia’s musicianship and eclectic song choices always keep the audience enraptured and inspired.
Located in the Austin and greater Austin area, the group first performed together in April 2021. Since then the band has performed in various venues and festivals in and around the Austin and Hill Country area and Europe.
Media in Texas has described Anthony Garcia’s music as “mariachi-esque Queens of the Stone Age” and “like something out of a Cormac McCarthy novel,” and proclaimed that his songs seem like the “missing tracks from a Robert Rodriguez soundtrack.” Media in Paris, France, dubbed his music “Americana Hypnotique.” This is a not-to-be-missed performance.
