MEMPHIS, Tenn. & BOSTON - Washingtoner -- Blue Heart Records proudly announces the signing of pianist, Hammond organist and composer, Anthony Geraci. Boston, MA-based Geraci's ­fifteen Blues Music Award nominations and 2021 BMA win reflect nearly four decades of musical excellence both in studio and onstage. A native of New Haven, CT, he witnessed the live performances of blues greats including B.B. King, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Rogers, providing a world class blues education at an early age that would later come full circle when he had the opportunity to perform with them, and many other blues icons. Geraci graduated from the Berklee College of Music with a B.A. and holds an M.A. from Skidmore College.

An original member of Sugar Ray and the Bluetones, and Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, Geraci has recorded extensively with both groups, in addition to a host of iconic traditional blues artists and leading contemporary acts. He received a 2000 GRAMMY® nomination as one of the studio musicians on Super Harps I (Telarc Blues) featuring Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton, Billy Branch and Sugar Ray Norcia.
