Album Notes

Tony Bataska was born in Chicago and has since lived all over the States. He currently resides in Northern California and plays many shows in the Sacramento and Bay Areas. He continues to work on new songs and push himself to play great live shows. Musically, he played piano for three years early in life and got his first bass guitar in eighth grade. Eventually he got his hands on an old classical acoustic guitar and taught himself how to play. He played in a band in high school, and briefly in college as well. Right after college, a broken-hearted Tony decided to start writing songs- and they began spilling out. Armed with a plethora of songs, an acoustic guitar, and the resolve to never quit, Tony has already played shows all over California and Chicago. And he continues on...

Here are some things Tony has accomplished recently:

- Released first album, "Tonight I Confess," early in 2006.
