Saturday afternoon a guest artist from Scotland preformed at Windjammers on the Pier. We had a chance to talk with Anton O’Donnell who is touring the United States promoting his debut album No End of the Line. Anton is from Glasgow, Scotland. Below is the interview.
Tour name: Vagabond Pond Hopping Tour
Lead singer/songwriter with Glasgow based band, Anton & the Colts embarks on a short solo tour from Glasgow to Decatur, Texas in support of the band’s debut album, ‘no end of the line’.
Anton will be stripping the songs back to the time of their creation, and showcasing new ATC & solo material.
“After about four years of relentless gigging the length and breadth of Scotland, Anton & The Colts finally unleash their debut album and a fine beast it turns out to be. The band, based around front man and chief writer Anton O’Donnell and the mercurial woul…d be glimmer twin, Roscoe Wilson (with a fine rhythm section in John Dunlop on bass and Dillon Haldane, drums), are one of those who sound more American than many American bands do. However there’s a boastful swagger to their gait which owes more than a little to the raunch of the Stones and the jollity of The Faces, in particular, Ronnie Lane’s contributions to the band such as on Ooh La La.” Blabber ‘n’ Smoke
