Tony Granatelli
Vocals, Percussion, Drums

"Sit behind the kit and play what comes naturally - that's how I look at playing the drums."

Tony is the founding drummer of Triple Threat, but departed the band and area to seek refuge in sunny California in Summer of 2002. In the summer of 2003 he returned to his home reinforcing TT with his superb vocals, charisma and song writing talents.

Tony has been playing the Chicago local scene since 1990. "As far as my drumming, I owe everything to Greg Marsh, former drummer for the Cathy Richardson Band. Greg taught me the basics and showed me how to lock in the rhythms." Other influences have been Kevin Mathews and Dick Holliday.

I also enjoy the creative process with my brother. I often write simple music for lyrics and turn that music over to Dean to elaborate on. We then work together to polish the sounds.
