Anthony De La Garza is a singer/songwriter/ guitarist/drummer who plays out of Fargo, ND. He has been playing guitar since 2001 after taking a break from drumming. In 2006 he recorded his debut album entitled "Ninastasis", it was recently put into production and is available to buy through Anthony by contacting him here. Anthony's music is self-described as Acoustic/ Psychedelic because of the use of vivid imagery and the effects of the vocals and guitars recorded in the music.

I can remember a time where the P.A wasn't working and I played unplugged and the crowd was very much into it and I had the best time ever playing that night.
