“Smooth,” “sensuous,” and “like butter” are some of the words that have been used to describe the unique vocals of Tony Grandberry.
Tony has performed with acclaimed artists such as his cousin, the late Grover Washington, Jr., Peter Nero, Kirk Whalem, as well as, the “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” house band, The Max Weinberg 7. In fact, in was Grover who dubbed him “The Crooner” because of his smooth and silky style.
The growing demand for Tony and his engaging persona has resulted in numerous public and private performances around the world. Hong Kong, Atlantic City, Key West, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming are a few of the exciting locations in which Tony has performed. A personal highlight was sharing the bill with Al Green, Patti LaBelle and trumpeter, Chris Botti at the Bermuda Music Festival.
Locally, you can see Tony and his quartet delight audiences every Sunday in Philadelphia at Zanzibar Blue Smooth Jazz Brunch.
“Gifted with a smooth baritone, and able to move into a tenor's range with ease...the first two chords of the subsequent number...was all that was needed to bring a squeal of delighted recognition from the crowd.”
