| Born in Hollywood and raised in an environment of songwriters and musicians, guitarist/songwriter Tony Gilkyson originally started recording as a boy with his father, Terry Gilkyson, a composer for Walt Disney and a prominent folksinger/songwriter in his own right.
Tony played guitar with the Los Angeles band X for 10 years, starting with the acclaimed album "See How We Are" and continuing through the all-acoustic live recording, "X Unclogged". Other artists he’s played and recorded with include: Lone Justice, Sam Phillips, Duke McVinnie, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Peter Rowan, Larry Hosford and Dave Alvin.

He’s also played guitar on numerous film soundtracks including the well received Johnny Cash biopic, "Walk The Line", "Don’t Come Knockin’" and "All The Kings Men" with noted producer T-Bone Burnett.
