Anthony “Tony B” Baragona
1956–2026

A life lived out loud.

He was the guy behind the keys who could read a room, know exactly what to play, and bring everyone together in the moment. He was more than the entertainer; he was also the oldest sibling, the storyteller, the one who brought big energy into a big family.

This site is here to celebrate all of it: the music, the moments, and the people who loved him.

You might remember Tony as:

Some people knew Tony from the stage. Some knew him as family. Some knew him as a friend.

You might remember him as the piano player who made the room feel alive. Or as the guy who told great stories, had an opinion about everything, and showed up with energy wherever he went.

However you knew him, through music, through family, or through shared moments somewhere in between, Tony made an impression. He was present. He was engaged. And he had a way of making moments feel lived in, not staged.

If that sounds like the Tony you knew, you’re in the right place.
