Singer/Songwriter Anthony Presti grew up in the suburbs of Seattle, inspired by an evolving and engaging grunge scene. In his teenage years, he moved to Northern California and played in a rock band covering Nirvana songs until they started writing their own material. After several tours and albums, the band dismembered and Presti rediscovered his affinity for acoustic guitar.
After a three month backpacking adventure in Europe, he returned with immense inspiration and moved to San Francisco. Presti’s music pays homage to all the different places he's lived or traveled and all the different musical scenes he's encountered. Presti teamed up with the talented Leah Van Dyke, lead vocalist of Brothers of Siren, and assembled a full band for his latest record, Clarity in Hindsight.
Anthony Presti has played countless shows as a duo, trio and full band including the Fillmore Poster Room, Lagunitas Brewery, Napa City Winery and the historic Hotel Utah. He takes pride on his unique songwriting, brilliant vocal harmonies and energetic and engaging live performances.
“Presti guides us just to the left of the typical singer-songwriter and brings us to his unique voice. He's never flashy; it's just what he does. The unexpected lyrical turns and musical choices are so subtle that if you blink, you might miss it on the first time around.”- Adobe and Teardrops
“One definitely feels as well as hears Presti’s sense of renewal on Clarity in Hindsight. The songs are in that upbeat vein of acoustic pop likened to Mumford and Sons and City and Colour.”- The Even Ground
