Anthony is a pop rock acoustic artist and songwriter who spends his time touring out of the way places making music and sharing moments with incredible people.

For Lee Ritenour, there aren’t many ‘firsts’ left to achieve. During his dazzling five-decade career, the fabled LA guitarist has taken his music to the outer limits, alighting on every genre and occupying every position in the rock ‘n’ roll firmament. He’s been an enfant terrible of ’70s fusion, a crossover star of the ’80s pop chart, an honorary exponent of Brazilian jazz, and the fingers behind ’90s supergroup, Fourplay. Ritenour’s accolades include: 45 albums,16 Grammy nominations, Alumnus of the year at USC, Los Angeles’ Jazz Society Honoree (2019), plus thousands of sessions with legends such as Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd, B.B. King, Tony Bennett, among others.

Tyler rose to fame by selling a potent elixir to cowboys and goldrushers in the 
late 1850s.  He told jokes, sang songs, stole women, and carried a 
pearl-handled pistol. 

Not really...

I was born in 1983.  I took piano lessons for a year in 1989.  I hated it. 
In 2003 I decided I wanted to be a singer and write songs.  I don't know why.
I couldn't do either.  But, I decided I would work really hard at it until people
actually wanted to hear me play my songs.  I decided it would be better
to fail in front of strangers than in front of my friends and family.  So in 2005
I moved from Anderson, IN to Charleston, SC - where I knew no one - to make
a run of it.  Shortly after arriving I formed a band with Joe Giant, who had made 
the trek down from Indiana with me, and who probably believed in me more
than I did myself.  We played 5 nights a week in bars and eventually caught a 
break - garnering the attention of a local music manager, Johnny Diamond, and
renowned producer, Rick Beato.  It was then, we formed the band, Crowfield.  
Parker Gins would become the drummer and a host of other talented musicians
filled out the lineup over the years.  And my oh my... what amazing years they were. 
We toured from New York City to San Francisco to Los Angeles and Cozumel.  And 
when we played our final show as a band on March 15th 2013, I looked out at 
a thousand people singing along - the strangers I had moved here to play for had 
become my friends, my fans, my family.  

So, now it's on to a new chapter.  I can't tell you what to expect from me because 
I'm still deciding that for myself.  All I know is I have a lot of material I'm working 
on and hope I will find the kindness and open ears I found when I started out 
on this adventure.

Crowfield blends Infectious, charismatic rock with elements of Americana, alt-country, and pop and has been captivating audiences across the U.S. with an engaging stage presence and insightful and poignant lyrics. Frontman Tyler Mechem formed the band that would come to be known as Crowfield when he relocated to Charleston, SC in 2005 from Indiana. In 2008, they caught the ear of acclaimed producer Rick Beato (Shinedown, NeedtoBreathe, Crossfade, Trey Anastasio, Stuck Mojo, Charlie Mars). Crowfield's debut album "Goodbye, Goodnight, So Long Midwestern" (Ten Star Records) soon followed and won the band a legion of fans with it’s stripped down focus on rock and alt-country. 

Crowfield’s third album features a return closer to the band’s original sound. The album, also produced by Beato, features everything from ethereal acoustic solo numbers like “Measure of a Life” to soaring radio ready tracks full of horns and strings like “Catching Up” to the rock of “Mistake” and “Black Hills.” Formerly signed to Universal Records, Crowfield is full of broad commercial appeal and is currently on tour across the United States.
