Anthony Bruno

Anthony Bruno has dedicated his life to music as a performer, educator, and creator. Born into a musical family, playing music has been a hallmark of his existence. Rooted in jazz but drawn to pop, rock and R&B, Anthony writes and plays unapologetically from the soul.  As described by Andrew Meriwether on 91.5 WBEZ, “(Bruno) has this ability to create melodies on the saxophone and I swear that I hear lyrics in my head when I hear these saxophone lines. I don’t know how he does it, it’s truly astounding." Since 2020, he has had a burgeoning career as a solo artist including 12 record and single releases of his own including his latest release entitled Cefalù, a sonic story about places known and fantasized. He has garnered over 3 Million Spotify streams for his releases and has been selected to 14 Spotify Editorial Playlists ranging from Contemporary Jazz to R&B as well as 2 YouTube Music Editorial Playlists. Bruno has also performed at various prestigious music festivals such as the New York City Winter Jazz Festival, the Chicago Jazz Festival, and the Chicago Blues Festival. Anthony is an endorsing artist for D’Addario Woodwind Products and Selmer Paris Saxophones.
