He has been playing for over half his life, approaching a musical intuition and vocabulary of one much older than his years. Anthony Forcellini (Uncle Stumbles, Cap’n Trips) studied saxophone for years before switching to guitar in the late 1980′s. Anthony cut his teeth in the Detroit area band Resurgency under the tutelage of David Simon and Brian Forbes when he himself was 20 yrs old..
