Amid a vibrant New York City music scene, Tony Scherr is known most notably for his continuing work with such distinguished artists as Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, Bill Frisell, Steven Bernstein's Sexmob, Jesse Harris & The Ferdinandos and John Lurie & The Lounge Lizards. A powerhouse double-bassist, gallant electric guitarist, and affecting songwriter, Scherr's self-taught musical prowess has been an undeniably integral part of influential songwriters' careers. One of the city's most in-demand musicians is now focasing his own songcraft.  
 
Scherr's sophomore effort, Twist in the Wind, features performances by Bill Frisell, Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson), Mauro Refosco (Bebel Gilberto, David Byrne), Kate Fenner, Michelle Casillas (Ursa Minor) and David Phelps. As with his 2002 debut record Come Around, Scherr enlisted his bassist brother Peter Scherr, drummer Kenny Wollesen (Bill Frisell, Jesse Harris) and Hammond organist Chris Brown as his backing band for the new release. 
 
Over the past year, Scherr's anomalous songs have travelled in some impressive circles. His long-standing friendship with Broken Social Scene resulted in Leslie Feist's reinvention of his composition "Sacramento." Scherr's cover of Jesse Harris's "You The Queen" appears in Ethan Hawke's new film, The Hottest State, alongside tracks by Willie Nelson, Norah Jones, Cat Power and Bright Eyes. 
 
"One of the best guitar players I've ever seen." 
--Norah Jones 
 
"His guitar playing and laid-back singing are haunting, and his songwriting stands out." --Playboy
