From the very first time we hear them, there are certain singers whom we feel we know. As the intimacy of their delivery and subtle shading of their interpretation draw us in, a whole personality seems to take shape in our imagination.

Bryan Anthony is that magnetic kind of singer. He has sung and studied professionally since his teens and has performed the world over from the Acropolis to Carnegie Hall.

Bryan first began singing in church choirs at age 5 and got an early start at performing in festivals, restaurants, and musicals even before his teenage years. At 15 he was given his first Frank Sinatra record, which he would listen to for hours, studying the nuances and phrasing. In the fall of 1995, Bryan entered the Manhattan School of Music in NYC, where he majored in classical voice. During his freshman year, Bryan performed several times on New York’s restaurant row, including Don’t Tell Mamas and Danny’s Skylight Room, where he thrilled audiences with his own style and voice.

In the summer of 1997, Bryan accepted an offer from the Glenn Miller Orchestra to begin touring with them. The tour took him all over the US, Canada, the Bahamas, the Hawaiian Islands and Japan. He returned to the Manhattan School of Music to finish his undergraduate degree in 2000, but he remained in New York City to complete his Master’s degree from New York University in jazz and contemporary music. Then, in 2002, Bryan joined the off-Broadway cast of “Our Sinatra,” a production about the musical legacy of the late Frank Sinatra—the show ran an unprecedented two and a half years.

In addition to touring the world with his jazz trio, Bryan has had the pleasure of working with The Glenn Miller Orchestra, The New Gene Krupa Orchestra, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and The Nelson Riddle Orchestra, with whom he is now doing a series of UK tour dates (www.nelsonriddleorchestra.biz).

Bryan's second record "Songs For Dreamer's", which includes many great songs of the American Songbook, and is available at www.krazycatrecords.com and for download on itunes and rhapsody.

“Anthony relies on style which emphasizes sentimentality, romance, and elegance as he delivers on this set of standards in a pleasant soothing manner. He also has a very personal way of delivering the tune, as if you were the sole person in the listening audience. He engages very direct and well. ‘Look At Me Now’ offers around 45 minutes of a captivating mix of vocal and instrumental work.”
-David Nathan, Allaboutjazz.com

“Anthony is the youngest in the cast, but he is the one with future star appeal. A tall, likeable guy with a huge satiny voice, he often attained a sexy, brash confidence and a plush romanticism that gave a hint of ‘Ol Blue Eyes.”
-Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald (Review from ‘Our Sinatra’)
