The Cadillac Angels are American music, simple as that! Taking what they loved from Rock n Roll, Country, Urban/Delta Blues, forging it, over a million miles of touring, to produce a personal, hybrid sound, rooted in hard drivin' electric guitar. Songs of love and life seen through eyes of a lonesome traveler. The Angels serve it up, hot and honest...that's American Music!

Tony Balbinot is the epicenter of The Cadillac Angels. Tony Balbinot’s no stranger to the realities of the music business. Having cut his teeth playing guitar for Wanda Jackson, Ronnie Dawson, Jerry lee Lewis, Link Wray and countless other “Pioneers of rock & roll”, he is currently endorsed by Gretsch guitars and was thier official “Poster Boy” in 2007. Tony brings it every single performance with his incredible lead guitar and lead vocals. Cadillac Angels front man Tony Balbinot started the band more than 20 years ago. While Balbinot is based out of Santa Barbara, Cadillac Angels has roots in Arizona. Since then they've released over 19 albums in CD, vinyl, cassette and more.

The Cadillac Angels remain a vital practitioner of early rock and blues. Having spent the better part of three decades honing their craft through relentless touring and recording of their own material (as well as backing Wanda Jackson, Carl Perkins, Link Wray, or Dale Hawkins) they are a lean mean swingin' machine with an honest delivery that deeply connects.

Tony Ridge & The Cadillac Angels have just completed recording a new CD. Entitled "Lonesome Traveler", the disc contains 9 original songs as well as one cover by folk icon and political activist the late, Woodie Guthrie. Recording members on this latest effort were Micky-Rae on both electric and stand-up bass plus back-up vocals and Ed "Boom Boom" Baratinni on drums. The CD is also graced with some great back-up vocals by local Sedona musician and artist Amy Winter.

Cadillac Angels - 2 albums: Illinois Boy / Kicks Like A Mule

Growing up with no computer, cell phone, Ipod or even a television, is just not that common anymore, anywhere, but for Tony Balbinot, bandleader and singer/songwriter, guitarist for the Cadillac Angels, that's exactly how it was. Born in a small, rural farm town in Illinois, in a house without even a television, only a radio and an old record player, Tony's connection to the big music world was limited to WLS Radio out of Chicago and used 45 rpm records from a jukebox in a diner where his single mother was a waitress. Musical influences varied widely from Johnny Horton to Jimmy Reed, and when his small family packed up and moved to California the spectrum widened and bloomed. With Tony's growing interest in electric guitar, Link Wray, Dick Dale, BB King, and John Fogerty began to heat up his second hand stereo and his fingers.

Midwestern roots combined with a western migration spawned the guitar driven musical and songwriting style that makes the Cadillac Angels music so special. Now, with over a million miles of touring, and over ten full length original CDs, the band has toured most of the USA and over seven countries in Great Britain and Western Europe. Their first recordings won them "Best Roots Demo" at Austin's prestigious South by Southwest Music Conference, and their songs have been featured in major full length films as well as commercials.

The Gretsch Guitar Company recognized Tony's talents and awarded him an artists endorsement. He was invited to perform at Gretsch's 125th year anniversary celebration, where he shared the stage with legends, Dick Dale, Billy Gibbons, and Jimmie Vaughn. Tony's picture now hangs in the Gretsch Hall of Fame in Scottsdale, AZ right between Chet Atkins and Brian Jones. Not bad for a country boy from Illinois!

The Cadillac Angels have never caved to musical fads or commercial pressure. They have elected to remain a trio, feeling that the honest sound of one electric guitar, bass and basic drums best suits the integrity of their style...a style born out of the American heartland, traveling the world, yet still their music rings true Rock and Roll...American music.

"Tony (Balbinot) did not choose this path...it chose him, and we are the better for it" ~ Georgianna Ackerman
