About Tony Mecca

A troubadour that rocks - really!

Popular Philadelphia singer/songwriter Tony Mecca serves wisdom from deep in the inner city via a delicious storytelling based blueprint that inventively incorporates elements of Pop, Blues, Folk and plain old Rock 'n Roll.

Fusing equal amounts of humor and sympathy, Mecca thoughtfully examine everyday people dealing with ordinary and surreal life circumstances. But with his eclectic approach, robust delivery, and a gritty Philly twist, he quickly dispels any preconceived stereotypes associated with the Singer/Songwriter region.

Through live performances with his Heavy MeNtal Gypsys, playing hundreds of shows from Washington (expired link). to New York, and with headliners such as Gene Loves Jezebel, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Pat Travers, and a steadily growing recorded output - Purple Monkeys (2003) / Princes of the New Dark Age (2005) / Hello, Goodbye & Everything in Between (2007) / Fun (2011) / Heavy Mental Gypsies (January 2016), Mecca has developed a loyal following in and around his home town of Philadelphia that has gradually infiltrated other regions both nationally and abroad.

His music has been labeled Classic Rock, Singer/Songwriter Rock and Adult Contemporary among others.

In reviews his songs and sound has been compared to Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, The Smithereens and even Tom Waits. In a poll of his fans he was described as: “The bastard son of Huey Lewis and Joni Mitchell” and “The Who fronted by John Prine.”.

As anyone more than a little familiar with Tony Mecca’s music will tell you, his infectious raspy voice and hook laden melodies may initially confiscate most of your attention, but it is his sage commentary on the beauty and failings of the "human drill" that will eventually permeate your head, heart and soul.
