An indoor portrait photograph showing musician Anthony Santaniello of Antro Banks. Captured in a medium close-up shot inside a dimly lit venue, Santaniello leans forward on a counter while looking directly into the camera lens with medium-length brown hair. He wears a blue denim button-up shirt over a dark tee under vibrant purple and blue ambient bar lighting, with an archway, warm background lights, and another person visible in the blurred background.

Even as a sideman, Anthony Santaniello is a can’t miss.

After a decade in the scene the guitarist—who’s been in lineups for Katara, Biishop the Artist, Miroux, Actual Bank Robbers and more—still finds time to work on his solo project.

Antro Banks, which headlines this stacked local showcase, is a chance for Santaniello to layer all of his influences into one act, backed by his own live band which includes Seth Lynn on bass and drummer-multi-instrumentalist Jamie Dammers.

This show was moved from Bayboro Brewing Co. after our print publication went to press.

Tickets to see Antro Banks, Peli Gene, Maryn Alyse Band, and Ask Me Later at Suite E Studios in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Oct. 3 are still available and start at $15.
