Description

Anton FigBorn in Cape Town, South Africa and currently residing in NYC, Anton started drumming around age 4 and progressed to a music degree at the New England Conservatory in Boston. After moving to NYC, he became part of the session scene and recorded with Ace Frehley, Link Wray, Kiss, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Joan Armatrading, Paul Butterfield, Mick Jagger, and hundreds more. Anton formed the acclaimed band Spider, who originated the hit “Better Be Good To Me” – later covered to great success by Tina Turner. In 1986, he joined The Late Show with David Letterman – a position he held for 29 years until the show ended. During that run he played with the world’s greatest musicians including Miles Davis, James Brown, Bruce Springsteen, Tony Bennet, Steve Winwood, Pete Townshend to name just a few. During this time, he composed and produced his solo album Figments, which features guest performances by Brian Wilson, Richie Havens, Ivan Neville, Ace Frehley, Blondie Chaplin, Chip Taylor, Oz Noy among many others. Anton recorded an instructional video – ‘In the Grove Late/Night Drumming’ – and was voted #1 Best Rock Drummer in Modern Drummer’s Readers Poll 2010. He also played many memorable live concerts including Live Aid, The Concert for New York City (for 9/11), Bob Dylan’s 30th Anniversary Concert, and countless Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Awards shows. Anton toured extensively with guitarist Joe Bonamassa after The Letterman Show ended, as well as playing on most of his albums and live projects since 2006. Currently Anton is producing, writing, recording, and touring with a variety of artists. Chris SpeddingGuitarist/Singer/Songwriter Chris Spedding has been a mainstay of the British session scene since the late 60s, playing with just about everyone from Nucleus, Jack Bruce, John Cale, Elton John, Mike Batt to Paul McCartney & The Bay City Rollers (anonymously!). In 1975 Spedding had a hit record called “Motorbikin”. In the late 70s he moved to the States and worked with Robert Gordon, Jerry Harrison, Dick Rivers and Johnny Hallyday. Since 2001, Spedding has been playing live with Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, The War Of The World and R. Gordon/D.Rivers, Herbie Flowers, Charlotte Glasson among others. In 2011, he put out a solo album “Pearls” and formed a legendary band called King Mob with Steve Parsons, Sixteen, Glen Matlock and Martin Chamnbers, but was short-lived unfortunately. In 2015, he released his 13th original studio album “Joyland”. On June 29, 2018, he had the 50th Anniversary Concert in London and this show came out.
