Tony DiCorpo

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio self-defined troubadour Tony DiCorpo is an indie-folk/Americana singer-songwriter. His acoustic-based musical writing style is filled with real-life experiences of love, loss, and everyday life with some fictional tales thrown into the mix for good measure.  After almost a 20-year unintentional hiatus, Tony recently rediscovered his love for writing and playing guitar during the COVID-19 quarantine in 2020. Since the mid-2000's, Tony only occasionally played and wrote.  

Tony began writing in college during the mid-1980's. "I was always writing my thoughts down a little like poetry. He already played the guitar and his love affair with music and songwriting began. Regardless of the song, creating a visual picture is important. "That is the key" DiCorpo says. "If the listener knows what the song is about after just the first listen, then I have accomplished what I set out to do." 

From the early 1990's through 1998, Tony found himself ‘cutting his chops' playing out, writing more and recording demos but like many other musicians, record label rejections were plentiful. Not everyone makes it regardless of your talent level", Tony says. By 2001 music and writing became less and less of a priority as life happened. 

The main thing that sets Tony's music apart from others in his style is the mix of acoustic instruments, a distinct strumming pattern and his gravel-like voice that compliments his songwriting.  "I have always had to be the entire band.  Bass strumming the guitar allows me to play a bass line while strumming giving the song a bigger sound.  On the recordings, it's mostly me singing and playing all parts: harmonica, guitars, mandolin and banjo unless I'm working with someone else." You can hear featured artists and musicians on some of his recordings.
