Tony Mecca
The North Star Bar - October 30, 2009
By Cyndy Drue
After seeing Tony Mecca and his band perform at the North Star Bar this past Mischief Night, it made me lament for my days of playing local bands’ music on the radio. If I still had my show “Street Beat” I surely would have featured Tony on the air to turn other people on to his music and passion, and let them know about his show.
What keeps me coming back to see Tony Mecca live is his songs. Tony is a solid songwriter with catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and music that transports you to another place. Put that together with a band that plays flawlessly and you have a top-notch night of entertainment. Such as it was that night. Bravo!
