Peter X Anthony

Rock & Roll is a dangerous game but someone has to live it! These are the chronicles of Canadas Six-String SchiXophrenic. A fixture on the Canadian music scene for the past 20 years, Peter X Anthony has supported some the biggest acts in the industry as resident guitar slinger and arranger. He also writes and fronts his own projects both live and in the studio. He has toured across Canada and the USA several times as side man for other artists as well as with his own bands Pippy Strange and The Verge. Peter has released numerous independent recordings and has created somewhat of an underground cult following along the way. Many of his earlier recordings were instrumental and for a time through the late 80's/early 90's he supplied the new "shred" guitar sound for everything from beer commercials to television and movies. After a brief hiatus the re-invented PXA re-surfaced in 1997 with a more "song" oriented approach to his writing. Having the reputation of Canada's Six String Schizophrenic, the direction shift took some fans by surprise. With the birth of his last band, Staghound-X, in the late 90's he drove the final nail in the coffin of his metal, shred head image. Fusing Latin, country, pop, world, funk and rock into compact, hummable tunes he proved that he could wield the pen as well as he could the axe. During this time Peter did occasional guitar duty for blues phenomenon Brian Cober as well as Maple Blues Award winners Rick Fines and Carlos Del Junco. For a period Peter was also guitar player for Canadian country artist Mike McCarthy. In 2009 and Rock & Rolls Bastard Son continues to be in demand both in the studio and on the road.
