Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artist Music....the universal language and no one speaks it better than Anthony Liguori. Perhaps you would never suspect this handsome down to earth talent from New Jersey of being so close to the truth, but he is. Fostered in the love of his music, he has overcome the busy and noisy sounds of his upbeat surroundings with the ease and beauty of a Bennett "sonata" and the gentle touch of a B. J. Thomas "rainfall".  Anthony has been able to remain true to who and what he is. Regarding his talent and direction in which he has moved his career, he has been a straightforward guy. 

His latest release – “Midnight in Memphis” is a fast moving rockabilly tune, a tribute to the King and captures the essence of Elvis. Whether you are an Elvis fan or not – the song is cleverly written, well-produced and has hooks all over it. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Check out this great song here:

"This is me. I can't be more than I am, and won't be what I'm not. What I can be is honest about my craft.
