Tony Memmel
Award winning singer-songwriter
Speaking about learning to play guitar with one hand.
Tony Memmel is a singer-songwriter, speaker, and teacher with unique charisma and creativity. Though he was born with one hand, he taught himself to play the guitar professionally by building a special cast that he designed out of Gorilla Tape.
​
He’s toured to 47 of the 50 states, 25 countries, and has worked with 16 countries virtually sharing his music and his message of hard work, determination, and resilience.
​
His work ranges from visiting schools, hospitals, and churches, to writing and arranging music for children, composing symphonies, performing in historic concert venues, and helping people with hand & limb-differences (like his) to develop their own adaptive methods that allow them to make music a part of their lives.
​
Tony grew up in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and now resides in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife and two sons. He enjoys playing basketball, swimming, hiking, and cooking & trying new foods… especially if hot sauce is involved.
