Best of NYC #94: Tony Scherr

Imagine the best coffee shop you know… no wait… the coffee shop of your dreams. Jars of beans rest on wooden counters, and the space is sunny and peaceful. There is a small (but acoustically perfect) stage. Now imagine who would play there. I’ve got an idea. Tony Scherr has a multitude of recording credits to his name, so he’d obviously be no open-mic man. His mastery of his instrument is clear, as is the sound he’s going for. There is a country twang, but enough rock sensibility to please those who scare easy when they hear the "c" word. Scherr‘s voice is soft and weathered, and fits his work like a well-worn, comfortable glove. Don’t miss the cover of "Wild Horses." You won’t regret it. – Tony Scherr placed at #95 in The Deli’s Best of NYC Emerging Artists 2010.allison levin
