Tony Newton TNTXtreme takes his live concert audiences on a journey of his musical career with his own unique approach and arrangements of the “greats” that he played with and encountered on his path. From John L. Hookers’ “Boom, Boom, Boom”, “Jimi Hendrix’s “Red House”, Gustav Holst’s “Mars” to his own prolific compositions like “Red Alert”, “Snake Oil”, and many more; his outstanding arrangements radiate brilliance, as he creates ripping grooves, unique voicing’s and shredding exciting solos with his crew of amazing musicians. They raise their blues numbers from the muddy swamps of New Orleans and slather it with thunderous renditions of tight pockets, undeniably thrilling interaction and screaming guitar and bass solos, to a fusion so unique and fresh that it defies genre labeling. These dogs will have you panting on the dance floor and rockin’ in the concert halls as they stretch the limits of their musical prowess to another dimension with their own alternative, ultra-expressive, meaty solos and spacial, beyond da “Miles” harmonics as Newton’s original compositions continue to propel new perceptions in the evolution of true music greatness like an ionospheric wave beyond his roots.
