Tony & the Torpedoes
Inducted in 2020
In the summer of 1995, Tony started up the
Torpedoes. Over the years, he's had a number of
stellar Tucson players do "Torpedo duty", but
there's always been a core sound. It's direct
and heartfelt, soulful with a groove you could
drive a truck through. The Torpedoes have
developed a very loyal following, not to mention
a lot of musicians who stop by to sit in. We're
definitely a musician's band. Even with the
basic line-up of current Torpedoes, we also have
a pool of players who come in to add their
creativity--their soul--their sound-- to ours.
Hell, on any given night you might see two or
three extra Torpedoes! The last steady members
of the Torpedoes were the folks listed below.
The band was retired in Jan. of 2013 doing our
last show at what was then The Boondocks Lounge
run by Bill and Cathy. There were others over
the years including Richard Gomez, Steve Grams,
Jerome Kimsey, Carla Brownlee, Larry Diehl,
Bryan Dean, Ed DeLucia, Anna Warr, Danny
Krieger, and on and on. There are more.
