TAVO CARBONE has been an active songwriter and recording artist since 1998, independently touring since 2007. Songs are described as "dystopian folk/blues" with musical influences that include Michael Hurley, Frank Zappa, Tom Waits, others. There's an off-kilter charm to Tavo Carbone's oddball, old-timey pop. Essentially a solo act, Carbone's been known to employ orchestral flourishes to flesh out his skeletal acoustics including at one point a 17-piece backing band

In recent years Tavo has adopted the odd stage moniker of a bald eagle mask with a moving beak. This theatrically engaging visual element has become a consistently developed 'character' of sorts in venue spaces all over the country. Carbone lives and tours in a 1991 Toyota motorhome with his dog and performs in theaters, basements, living rooms, record stores, etc. Tavo is currently on the Why America Tour which will traverse 38 states and conclude at the end of 2027.
