Reinvention: What once was becomes a transfigured relic of past transgressions. While some may struggle with it or find unbridled success, the fact remains that change is not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of artists go through these active periods of reinvention, these new chunks of creativity forming new pieces of musical fanfare. In Anthony Green’s case, his musical transformations only seem to add to the mystique and allure of his music. Beginning as the lead singer of screamo, hardcore aficionados Saosin for a brief period, his first musical rebirth came in the form of alternative experimental group Circa Survive.
A few years later came yet another musical revelation. Thus the solo career of Anthony Green was born. Shaping a terrific, acoustic-based, alternative sound with his special brand of vocal mixing, Green has since dropped a new album. His second release as a solo artist came out this year titled “Beautiful Things.” Currently, Green is on a tour of the U.S to share his unique take on musical arrangement. His sound is part alternative, part folk, part blues, and all seamless integration. It’s bound to get stuck in your head in an infinite loop of catchy indie rock that will have you humming for days. One of his standout tunes consists of a top notch collaboration with hometown hero Nate Reuss (of The Format and fun infamy), and a number of musically vivid and engaging pieces. No doubt his live show will hold the same whimsy and intrigue that his musical releases do. An added bonus? A portion of the proceeds from the tour support the Keep-A-Breast foundation.
