Anthony da Costa

Interview With Anthony da Costa

Anthony da Costa was one of the artists I was most delighted to discover at the 2008 Folk Alliance conference in Memphis, Tenn. Onstage, he commands attention, and on record, the songs translate well. I caught up with him before he headed to Pennsylvania for the 2008 Philadelphia Folk Festival to talk about what it’s like being a teenage folksinger.

Abbie Gardner & Anthony da Costa - 'Bad Nights/Better Days' CD

Abbie Gardner (Red Molly) and Anthony da Costa are both excellent songwriters, and their collaboration on 'Bad Nights/Better Days' only accentuates that point. Together, their voices blend beautifully, driving this collection of incredibly sad songs from shadow to shadow.
