Philadelphia recording artist Tony Juliano to perform at Boardwalk on Monday night

Philadelphia recording artist Tony Juliano, who will perform Monday night at Boardwalk Pasta and Seafood in Isla Del Sol, may have come up in the ’60s and ’70s rock ’n’ roll era but he has an impressive repertoire that spans musical genres.

He may be an old rock ’n’ roller but he’s as comfortable crooning oldies as he is playing music from the islands — and a little bit of everything in between. If you want traditional boot-scootin’ country, he’s got it. If you want peace and harmony folk, he’s got that, too.

The video above gives you an idea. Stepping’ Out With My Baby was a hit for Fred Astaire in 1948 in the movie Easter Parade. Tony Bennett did a cover in 1993. He recorded it with Christina Aguilera. And it’s part of what Tony Juliano does. Eight decades worth of music. Pretty much anything you’d want.

Tony’s first paid gig was for a school dance when he was 11 years old. In the ‘60s, he had an a cappella doo-wop group called The Durhams. (“They were white boys but they wanted to sound as black as possible,” he says.) In the 1970s, he formed a band with friends called Johnny’s Dance Band. (“Rock ’n’ roll vaudeville.”) In college around that time, he started teaching music, and still does that today.  In the ’80s, he performed in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. He had a group called the Down Island Dogs. In the ’90s, he had a group called The Avenue.

“My wife saved my life — several times — including my musical life,” says Tony on his website. He credits Dyann Juliano with getting him back into music after he’d left for four years to run an antiques business. So that’s what he does, and his lifetime of experience has given him a broad range of musical styles from which to choose.

That’s why when Tony Juliano appears from 6 p.m to 9 p.m. on Monday at Boardwalk in Isla Del Sol, he’ll probably play something you like.
