Tony has performed in several Broadway shows, including: "Cabin in the Sky" (the Lead), "Purlie", and "Porgy & Bess". He was also the understudy for Sammy Davis in "Free & Easy" performing in Paris, Brussels & Amsterdam in the 60's.
Tony lived in Paris for several years, having been sent there to satisfy their need for a Ray Charles type singer and voice. Tony has also worked in the UK performing Northern Soul music.
For years he had done demos for people like Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley & Lou Rauls.
Today Tony works regulars in a number of venues in NYC as a Jazz Vocalist & a Sunday Jazz Brunch @ the Kitano Hotel for 7 years.

Hello,
My name is Bob Levoy, and I am a U.S. Navy Veteran and music and concert reviewer. I have written over 3500 reviews since the 1980s for my blog Oasis Entertainment and for independent record labels, PR firms, festivals, venues and bands. I write reviews for all genres, except for hip hop, which is not my cup of tea.

In addition to all the independent labels and artists that I have been writing reviews for, I am currently an Author on Staff at Virtuosity Worldwide Arts & Entertainment Magazine, a subsidiary of Virtuosity Worldwide LLC. I write music reviews and do concert and festival interviews and reviews for their magazine.

I will still write reviews for my independent artists and labels in addition to the work I will be doing for Virtuosity Worldwide.

I would also be interested in reviewing your bands music and reviewing your live performance if you are ever in my area. I do not ask for pay for my reviews, I only ask for either a signed Vinyl or CD and an X-large t-shirt that I wear to promote the bands.

You can contact me at one of the links below. Plus, I would love the opportunity to get my vinyl signed the bands.
