Musician Bio

Anton Alexeev was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia and fell in love with guitar playing after hearing Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Anton could listen to the "Whole Lotta Love" riff all day, trying to copy that sound on the guitar. Everything Anton loves to listen to and play has a connection to Blues. However, Anton's tastes have also evolved, so that he now enjoys a variety of diverse styles that were originally connected to the blues, including ska, swing, jump blues, rockabilly, hard rock and many other styles. Some of Anton's favourite players are Albert Collins, Freddie King, Charlie Christian, Brian Setzer, Angus & Malcolm Young, Bill Frisell, Cliff Gallup, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Ramone, Rev. Horton Heat, Toni Iommi, Mark Ribbot (in no particular order).

Anton currently enjoys teaching guitar, and has dozens of private students; he's been teaching guitar for a long time, and always searchs for new and better ways to transfer his knowledge of music to his students. Anton currently plays in Tri State Conspiracy, a band that has invented a new style called Punk Swing (or sometimes Psycho Swing). Tri State Conspiracy features a full horn section, which gives the band an option to effortlessly mix ska and swing, with the touches of rockabilly and punk. Anton has a degree in Jazz Guitar, and recently graduated with his second degree in music education. Aside from loving the guitar and blues music, Anton is a big soccer fan.
