Artist description Singer/songwriter Tony DiCorpo has been singing and playing guitar for nearly twenty years. You will find him playing his tunes in a bar with his band, The High Tide or in a coffeehouse with just his acoustic guitar. His three chord, acoustic-based style comes from the heart. The Cleveland, Ohio native mixes country and folk with a rock feel to get a style that most classify as Alt Country, or more recently, Western Beat. Regardless of the proper classification, just refer to it as country. Tony currently resides in Austin, TX

Artist History Tony's writing began by accident in the college years of the mid-eighties. "I was writing some thoughts down and discovered the words would sound great with music." Realizing that he had true appreciation for music and songwriting, he thought he'd give it a whirl. He already played the guitar so it stuck and Tony's been hooked ever since. His first full length CD titled "Count Me In" on Tad Records is slated for a January 2001 release.
