Welcome

I play celtic music on guitar.  It involves taking traditional celtic melodies and adapting them for the guitar.  Tunes are either played with a flatpick or fingerstyle.  A variety of alternate tunings are often used.

My specific interest is called Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar. I take tunes that i hear on fiddle, pipes, flute, or other instruments, and arrange them for a solo guitar setting. I try to preserve the subtle lilt and rhythm that is so important in celtic music.  I usually use the Orkney tuning, which is CGDGCD.

When not practicing at home I can often be found at various sessions around Portland Oregon playing flute or guitar. I also like to spend my time drinking a good microbrew, checking out new resteraunts, or indulging my caffeine addiction with some Stumptown coffee.

My debut cd, Noone Lasses, is currently available on CDBaby. You can listen to a few full length tracks in the audio player over on the right of this page.

"Anton Emery’s debut CD "Noone Lasses" has all the qualities of that rare album that one finds it an obscure record shop that instantly becomes and remains a lifetime favorite!" - Minor 7th Acoustic Music Reviews
