Deep Roots 2026 Spring Series – Tony Boyd @ Bar Fontaine

There are two sides to Tony Boyd – the mellow guitarist/vocalist with a deep sense of time and place in heartfelt lyrics, and the bluesy rocker who plays the harmonica with raucous abandon. As the former, his sound has been described as “soothing” or even “haunting,” and is inspired by artists like Guy Clark, whose songwriting sensibilities measure up to true art. As the latter, it’s a sound that doesn’t need words to communicate clearly. As both, Boyd is drawn to music that describes the human condition, expresses a variety of emotions, and is deeply therapeutic.

Boyd is one of those artists who plays music that definitely sounds good as the backing track to a crowded bar, but is an even greater treasure when you listen closely. Tony Boyd invites you to take a seat, have a drink, and let his laid-back tribute to Americana transport you.
