Deep Roots 2026 Spring Series – Tony Boyd @ Bar Fontaine

Tony Boyd is a solo musician born and raised in the hills of Sentobia, MS. Described as “a laid-back tribute to Americana,” Boyd has performed his own variety of folk, country and blues music throughout the region for over three decades.

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.
