Biography

“Tony Memmel and His Band are singers, songwriters, speakers, and teachers with unique charisma and creativity. Though Tony was born with one hand, he taught himself to play the guitar by building a special cast that he designed out of Gorilla Tape.

They have toured to 17 countries around the world and have worked with 16 nations virtually since 2020, sharing music and messages of hard work, determination, and resilience.

Our work ranges from composing symphonies, to writing and arranging music for children, visiting schools, hospitals, and churches, to performing in historic concert venues, and helping people with hand & limb-differences to develop their own adaptive methods that allow them to make music a part of their lives.

Our mission is to combine the art and craft of music with the calling and dedication of service…. while rockin’ out, inspiring others, and having a total blast doing so.”

We’re excited that because of virtual programming, Lesleigh, Alex, Joey, and I can all participate and serve together while tending to family responsibility, AND living in two different states!”
