Lose your job, Start a band, Go on tour

That is exactly what Tony Castricone is about to do.

On the way to work this morning I caught Tony’s story on the radio about how he was a successful sportscaster here in the Greatest City and suddenly found himself out of a job and in a spot with so many others these days. A spot where you ask yourself. . . What’s next? For Tony Castricone, he decided to follow a dream as a musician, grab his guitar and hit the road. Sounds crazy right? Well . . yeah . . . maybe a little, but you know what they say. Nothing risked, nothing gained. And seriously, you got to admire the guy for putting it out there, going on a journey of uncertainty and doing something out of his comfort zone.

So tomorrow night (June 9th, 2010) at Callahans is the send off and CD release. From there Tony will head off on his 40 day tour where he will play at open mic every night through July 20.

For a full list of the dates and to follow along with his journey check out the 40 day tour blog. You can also help Tony by making a donation or better yet, buying some of his songs on iTunes or Amazon.

Good luck Tony.
