Tony's Music
I participate in a musical culture known as Filk, the folk music of the SF/Fantasy fandom
community. For a more detailed explanation, the current
Wikipedia entry on Filk Music is quite good
and covers all of the bases.

Lately, I've moved away from doing songs by myself, and now my primary focus is being the
guitarist and producer for Vixy & Tony, the duo consisting of
Michelle Dockrey and myself. For information about our
original songs, including lyrics and song samples, please visit
Vixy & Tony's Music Page. |
I have long believed that performing with other people has a cumulative effect, bringing up the
level of musicianship of everyone involved. I am always at my best when I'm collaborating with
other musicians. Here are links to other musician friends I've worked with:
Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff
We've known each other for many years. Jeff taught me to play the guitar when I was a teenager.
Vixy and I have done additional vocals on some of their albums, and we sometimes perform with
them. Their vocal, instrumental, and engineering work is also featured on our albums.
Marian Call
Occasionally, you will find me sitting in as Marian's guitarist du jour
at live performances in the Pacific Northwest.
Done the Impossible
Vixy and I are featured as background music on this documentary DVD
about Firefly fans, and we each have a track on its soundtrack album,
performing two different versions of Mal's Song.
The soundtrack features many great musicians, including our friends the Bedlam Bards.
Callie Hills of Echo's Children
At filk gatherings, Callie and I often perform songs together.
Nancy Freeman
I appear on Nancy's Stardust County album.
Blake Hodgetts
I frequently cover Blake's songs, and I played
guitar on his album Blindsight.
Kristoph Klover and Margaret Davis
I've worked in Kristoph's studio, and Vixy and I have had his help in recording our music.
Rozalind MacPhail
I engineered and produced a 5-song EP for Rozalind, in the summer of 2006, and helped her record the initial tracks
for her full-length album Edgework in the winter of 2007.
Seanan McGuire
Vixy and I have been working with Seanan, helping to provide voices and instrumentation for her songs.
I appear on many of her albums. The track
Evil Laugh on Stars Fall Home was recorded in my basement studio here in Seattle.
SJ "Sooj" Tucker
Vixy & Tony sometimes open for, and have been known to collaborate with, this amazing
singer/songwriter who hails from the Southern United States. When she travels to the Pacific
Northwest, Sooj performs with the wonderful Betsy Tinney under the name
Skinny White Chick, and/or with the
incomparable Alexander James Adams under the name Tricky Pixie.
When Sooj and Betsy are playing as a group with Vixy & Tony, we like to call ourselves "Kitten Sundae",
since our rehearsals at Betsy's house usually end with kittens and
ice cream (no, not at the same time!).
I'm also known for covering some of the parodies by Bob Kanefsky
and Steven Cavanagh, as well as covering many songs
by the mind-bogglingly awesome Jonathan Coulton.
Tony's Parody Songs
Back when I used to write songs by myself, I did parodies...
