Biography

- Philadelphia singer/songwriter Tony Mecca serves wisdom from deep in the inner city via a delicious storytelling based blueprint that inventively incorporates elements of Pop, Blues, Folk and plain old Rock 'n Roll. His stories fuse equal amounts of humor and sympathy to thoughtfully examine life experiences, personalities and real people dealing with ordinary and sometimes surreal circumstances. But plodding and tedious meditation are avoided at all costs, and rock ā€˜nā€™ roll sensibilities are injected at every opportunity to keep the proceedings vibrant, fun and quite distant from the music of most other artists residing in the singer/songwriter region. - Through live performances with his Heavy MeNtal Gypsys, and his steadily growing recorded output: Purple Monkeys (2003) Princes of the New Dark Age (2005) Hello, Goodbye & Everything in Between (2007) Fun (2011) Heavy Mental Gypsies (2016) Purple Monkeys - Remix/Remaster (2018) Princes of the New Dark Age - Remix/Remaster (2018) Fractured Poetry (2020) Mecca has developed a loyal following in and around his home town that has gradually infiltrated other regions both nationally and abroad. His music has been labeled Classic Rock, Street Rock and Singer-Songwriter others. He calls it Adventurous Singer/Songwriter and Urban American Heavy MeNtal.
