WHERE THE
MUSIC MATTERS
Embarking on a solo career with his own sound and style—and calling his music “blues infused rock & roll with soulful swampy under tones”, ANTHONY KRIZAN is one of the premier songwriters and producers in the New York metropolitan area. He first rose to fame in 1994 as lead guitarist for the commercially successful jamband, the SPIN DOCTORS, however, prior to joining the popular group, he had carved out industry recognition in his own right—having been signed to both POLYGRAM and CHRYSALIS RECORDS.
Once he took to the stage in his new role with the Spin Doctors, Krizan got right to work–bringing his electrifying guitar prowess and solid backing vocals to the group. He also wasted no time in lending his superb songwriting skills to the cause, co-writing the band’s third album, which included the theme song for MICHAEL J. FOX’S hit TV show “Spin City”. In fact, five of Krizan’s songs made the Spin Doctors’ “Greatest Hits” collection, including “Miss America”, which was adapted for HOWARD STERN’S book that was released under the same title.
Krizan’s rock roots run deep–having performed as a guitarist with NOEL REDDING, bassist of THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE for 10 years. Noel Redding and Anthony became great friends, as well as musical partners. The years to follow included a long list of song writing credits on numerous albums, movie sound tracks and television show themes. This includes Krizan co-writing “Dust and Bone” for GRETCHEN WILSON’S “Right On Time”—with the song also being recorded by blues/rock legend PAT TRAVERS. “Dust and Bone” was additionally picked for the second track on Universal country artist TIM HICKS’ album, which opened at #1 on the SoundScan Country Album Charts. These industry endorsements contributed to making “Dust and Bone” the obvious choice for the title track for Anthony’s upcoming debut album.
