He feels he has really found his niche in the music world, playing Australian bush ballads.

Anthony won a scholarship to the Tamworth Music Academy for a fortnight in January, just before he played 20 gigs at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.  There, he released his new CD, a duet with Lindsay Butler called ‘Boomerang Guitars’.  

“It’s really important to get yourself out there and make yourself known,” he said.

“Things are happening fast now.  It’s great to get out and see the country and meet other musicians.  The academy was a great learning experience.  Big stars tell you what you need to know about the music industry, how to present and market yourself.”

Anthony won the walk-up section at the Clarence Valley Muster in 2017 and since, then there’s been no stopping him.

He was a finalist at the Gold Medallion Media Awards musician of the year in 2017 and 2018 and won the GMMA Collaboration of the Year in 2017 with Lindsay Butler.

He then won 2017 Instrumental of the Year with ‘Things Are Not The Same On The Land.’  

This year at the Bungendore Country Music Muster earlier this month, he won the Stan Coster Memorial Award for the second year in a row, the Barry Thorton Achievement Award and was a finalist in the Song Writer of the Year for ‘Huntah’s Melody’.

Anthony travels all over the country performing at festivals in Queensland and NSW.
