Tony Escueta - Keyboards and Vocals
Upon buying his first synth at age 17, Tony has followed his lifelong passion of music, eventually leading him to study at the Jacobs School of Music, in Bloomington, IN. It was at Indiana University that Tony met Ken Woods, Brad Harner, and Sean Flora, eventually forming a band named Graffiti.
After graduating from I.U., Tony continued working as a keyboardist while also working in music retail. It was during this time that Tony began a career with Yamaha Corporation of America, where he has been working since 1999, as a technology product specialist and clinician.
Recognized as one of the music industry’s leading product experts for digital instruments, over the years Tony has worked with legendary entertainers and songwriters, and provided synth programming for numerous artists including Billy Gibbons, Michael McDonald, Chick Corea, and Jon Anderson.
Tony is thrilled to be collaborating with Maestro Kenneth Woods, as well as his fellow college bandmates at MahlerFest.
