Tony Furtado Band – Live at Mississippi Studios
Tony Furtado is an indie record label’s dream artist. He has lived primarily on the road for
the last two decades. He is gregarious, engaging and entertaining, on and off stage. He’s
been called a genius on banjo and slide guitar and his own creative interpretation-hybrid of
Americana and indie rock is captivating. Onstage, whether playing with a band or solo, he
owns the room, mixing stories of his travels with musicianship that is off the charts
About “Live at Mississippi Studios”:
On Nov 25, 2011, Tony and his band -some of Portland’s finest young musicians, played 2
exciting sets to a packed house at one of Portland’s guiding light venues for indie rock,
Americana, and folk music, Mississippi Studios. The show was recorded and mixed by
Rob Stroup (8-Ball Studios) and filmed by a new collective of young filmmakers called
Devious Goldfish. The whole project was funded by an interactive Kickstarter campaign
where Tony offered up concerts, CD’s and even some of his sculpture-work as incentives
for pledges. Feeding off the thread of energy from the crowd, the performance was
riveting and sincere, and the filmmakers captured that on-stage intimacy and raw emotion
rarely accessible to the audience. The result is a stunning CD/DVD set, a follow-up to
Tony’s 2011 release, “Golden” ( which remained on the Americana top 40 chart for
months).

Blending rock, jazz, classical, bluegrass, and folk may be difficult — even hazardous — but singer-songwriter and guitarist Dan Costello is up to the challenge. His solo shows display a breathtaking range of virtuosity and inexhaustible talent, moving from original song showcases to all-jazz sets to instrumental concerts to match the audience and venue. And when his band the Truck Stop Trio/Orchestra — anchored by standout Boise musicians Bob Nagel on bass and Mike Rundle on drums — takes the stage, audiences are treated to a feast of eclectic, energized, soulful bad-assery.
Arguably the hardest working musician in Boise, Dan performs an eye-popping 250+ shows per year. He has shared the stage with Steve Miller, Third Eye Blind, Darius Rucker, Robert Earl Keen, Chris Botti, Michael Manring and other noteworthy international and local talent.
He earned a Bachelor of Music degree in classical guitar in 2001 and works both in and out of the scholastic realm as a performer, accompanist, editor, composer, arranger, lyricist, teacher, and manager. Dan has also served on the faculty of Boise State University’s Department of Music and is an outspoken advocate of local grassroots movements in the music scene.
