The video below is a short, 4-minute tour of a one-hour multimedia presentation of 80+ slides of rare photos, newspaper clippings, music, and videos that takes us through Tony’s life from birth in 1951 to his passing in 2020.

I learned much about Tony while writing Discovering Tony Rice, a book of stories by his friends about him. But folks started sending me new information that led me to look more deeply into his life and see different connections. So I created a presentation that shows us Tony’s life chronologically and let’s us see what people and events shaped Tony as a man and a musician.

Bluegrass festivals and music schools will enjoy and learn from this PowerPoint presentation of music, videos, and photos. I narrate it live, and take questions afterwards.

We all love and miss Tony.

This tour of the people and music in his life is my tribute to him. – BA
