Anthony Krizan, veteran of the iconic jamband Spin Doctors, was spotlighted by ION’ s Art Director and Journalist, Jay Petsko( October 2016)., Anthony continues to play live and write good music, with no sign of slowing down. He has been busy performing, with a number of New Jersey gigs scheduled--and there is even talk of shows past the Mason Dixon line. In spite of his challenging schedule, he’ s been able to sneak in a few song ideas--picking up right where“ Dust and Bone” left off. Anthony continues to shine, as his playing is at the top of his game. There is a rumored reunion in the works, but to be clear, he is neither taking a spin nor going to a doctor.
