About Tony Harnell:
A critically acclaimed vocalist, Norwegian Grammy Award Winner, and the only American inductee into the Norwegian popular music Hall of Fame, Tony has sold millions of albums and received numerous gold and platinum awards. With multiple top requested MTV videos, sold out concerts worldwide, and a lifelong passion for music, Tony is considered by fans, critics, and peers alike to be one of the greatest rock voices of all time.
California born, NYC bred, Tony Harnell’s music journey took off at 21 when he signed his first record deal with Mercury Records. Since then, he’s been a fan favorite in the hearts and souls of millions, whether on his own, leading the Norwegian/American hard rock group TNT, or as the front man for the Tony Harnell & The Wildflowers featuring Bumblefoot.
For Tony, it’s always been about the music. Growing, creating, becoming the next best version of himself as a singer, performer, and songwriter. To that end, Tony recently made the transition from one musical powerhouse to another: NYC -> Nashville. “It opens up even more doors to be creative in new ways.”
