Anthony Edward Black has been a versatile musician and composer for decades, known for his masterful skills as a bassist, guitarist, composer, and producer. Based in Waynesville, North Carolina, Anthony’s career spans a remarkable range of genres and collaborations.
Most recently recognized as a touring member of the legendary Marshall Tucker Band, Anthony has shared stages with iconic names like Travis Tritt, Dickey Betts, and Lynyrd Skynyrd during their sold-out stadium Farewell Tour. His time with MTB included unforgettable performances at the Grand Ole Opry and numerous national tours.
Before that, Anthony’s journey began with a deep love for music experimentation. He toured with two of the “big four” Nardcore bands—Stalag13 and Dr. Know—and performed alongside the avant-garde guitar legend Buckethead throughout the ’90s. A highlight of his career was playing with “Eyedentity,” featuring the renowned Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, and Wah Wah Watson.
After stepping away from the road in 2019 to focus on his family and solo career, Anthony has been diving into exciting new projects. He’s currently crafting his first singer-songwriter album and a modern festival jazz album featuring an incredible cast of musicians. Deeply inspired by the Asheville music scene, Anthony continues to collaborate with local artists, making an impact on the region’s vibrant culture.
