Anthony Fiumano

With only an acoustic guitar and a collection of focused, introspective songs, Anthony Walker began playing for local audiences two short years ago. But in that time, he has developed a unique sound that blends a deep respect for tradition with rock, folk, and R&B music.



His acoustic performances carry a weight and intensity that is not commonly found in many of his contemporaries. Walker has drawn comparisons to great folk and rock artists of generations past, but is carving out a path that is all his own. He captivates audiences with lyrical prowess and a voice that can be both powerful and raw or delicate.



Always striving to build on his success, Anthony began playing with a group of musicians dubbed The Medicine Chest. With The Medicine Chest behind him, Walker is bringing new energy to the songs that earned him a reputation as one of the area's premier songwriters.



The July 2008 release of his debut album, "When Strangers Say Hello," marks a new direction for Walker. The album contains songs that span the first few years of his career, and range from introverted folk ballads to cascading guitar anthems. With a constantly widening scope and a cultivated sense of musical tradition, he is sure to take his craft to a level that will be hard to ignore.
