Anton Grace is a bright, dynamic pianist-vocalist, who has been singing since early childhood, and who began his instrumental education at age 10 with the clarinet. His ear for harmony ushered him into co-directing duties for a 4-5 part Slovenian vocal and dance music ensemble; from there he went on to back-up vocals and playing drums and percussion for a Motown, Soul, and Rhythm & Blues review.  And since 1995, he has been carrying on professionally as a solo piano-vocal entertainer, beginning with ten years in Chicago, and rounding up with five years on the seas with Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

Highlight engagements include a year-long weekly run at the Peacock’s Nest in the NBC Towers in downtown Chicago; a two-year role as dance band leader and solo piano-vocalist in Lincolnwood’s Radisson Hotel; and five years at the ready-for-anything Hugo’s Frog Bar on Chicago’s famous Rush Street strip. Finally he has enjoyed five years working on 9 different ships in the Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise ship fleets, culminating with a tour on the then-largest and most celebrated ship in the world, the RCCL Freedom of the Seas.

Anton is an accomplished highly versatile performer, handling the music of the Great American Songbook in a unique, light jazz and swing informed, EZ-listening style; and also easily capturing the sound and bright-energy spirit of the best popular rock classics.  In addition, he invites a bit of mystery-delving as to his cultural heritage: he sings in French, Spanish, Italian, German, and several other languages so convincingly, he is regularly mistaken for being a native of each of those tongues. He has thus far also released seven CD’s of original material performing, arranging and producing, as well as composing the music and writing the lyrics.

Whether your need is for well-chosen, sparkling background music to animate and complement your room, or a full-on dance and pop music celebration, Anton strikes the right chords for you, your guests and your event and venue.
