ABOUT

Anthony [Tony] Bonsera, Jr. is a respected musician, composer, and arranger and has played lead trumpet or second trumpet (split lead) for The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra, Mike Barone Big Band, Bill Holman Big Band, Steve Huffsteter Big Band, Pete Myers Jazz Orchestra, Ladd McIntosh Jazz Orchestra, The BBB (featuring Bernie Dresel), and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, just to name a few. In addition to his activity in Los Angeles as performer, arranger and recording artist, Bonsera also teaches History of Rock and Roll, Musicianship and Trumpet at Citrus College in Glendora, CA.

On March 17, 2014, Tony released The Gates of Hell, featuring all original compositions on which he plays a variety of instruments while also showcasing his vocal talent. In November of 2017, Bonsera debuted his most ambitious project, the Los Angeles Classic Rock Orchestra. The group performed the renowned Beatles albums, Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, in their entirety and with full instrumentation, in L.A. to rave reviews. Tony’s band BONSERA, comprised of some of L.A.’s finest jazz and studio musicians, is dedicated to playing the great works of Progressive and Classic Rock and Fusion. Bonsera’s latest great endeavor is the double album – L.A.’s Finest. Recorded over three years in Los Angeles, the eighty-minute piece features many giants of the L.A. music scene and special guest artists from across the country.

When he is not practicing, performing, composing, or educating aspiring musicians on the West Coast, Tony enjoys spending time back home with family and friends. Born and raised in Philadelphia, he also owns a home at the Jersey shore because he can’t go too long without a real Philly cheesesteak or a Wawa fix.
