 "Seeing
Anthony da Costa on stage is a perfect storm. Talent, intensity, humor,
passion, intelligence and charm all bouncing off the walls of the room he is
playing" (Court House Concerts). Anthony's music combines folk,
rock, Americana and pop, plus what it's like to be "a very young man with a
very old soul" (legendary New York DJ, Pete Fornatale).
Now 20 and a junior at Columbia University, in 2009, Anthony was named an
MSNBC.com "Top 5 Up-&-Coming Young Singer" and a "WFUV-FM New Artist To
Watch". In 2008, he released two, critically-acclaimed albums and was a Folk
Alliance "Emerging Artist of the Year" nominee. In 2007, at 16, he became
the youngest winner ever at the Falcon Ridge and Kerrville Folk Festivals.
Anthony has played major festivals, including Kerrville, Falcon Ridge,
Philadelphia and Tonder (Denmark); showcased at SXSW and Tin Pan South;
opened for music icons, like Loretta Lynn, Judy Collins, and Dan Bern; and,
with one foot in folk, and the other foot loose and wandering into various
other genres, released his eighth record in 2009, "Not Afraid of Nothing,"
which "has the lyrical quality of a John Prine album" (Twangville). He
recently completed his latest album, a Rock/Americana effort recorded in
Brooklyn, NY and featuring a slew of wonderful NYC musicians called "Secret
Handshake" (due February 2012).
