Anthony Walker has earned a reputation as one of New Jersey's most respected songwriters, creating emotionally resonant music rooted in the enduring traditions of Americana while shaping a sound that draws naturally from indie rock, folk, R&B and country, delivered through a voice that is instantly recognizable. Over the years, his songwriting has earned praise from critics, led to opportunities to share the stage with nationally recognized artists, and connected deeply with listeners drawn to evocative lyrics, memorable melodies, and songs that continue to reveal themselves over time.

​

There is a quiet sense throughout Walker's work that songwriting is less a pursuit than a way of engaging with the world. His songs feel lived in rather than manufactured, emerging through observation, reflection, and experience before finding their place alongside one another.

That spirit finds its latest expression in The Wind & The Witness, a richly cohesive collection that brings together songs from different creative seasons into a unified whole. Rather than feeling assembled, the album unfolds like a conversation, with recurring themes, imagery, and emotional currents revealing themselves more fully with each listen.

​

Walker has shared the stage with many nationally recognized artists including Arlo Guthrie, Ingrid Michelson, Railroad Earth, Clem Snide, and Wilco keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen. Over the course of his career, Walker has earned critical praise, awards, and recognition from audiences and fellow musicians alike—but through it all, the songs have remained the constant. The Wind & The Witness offers listeners an invitation into a creative world that feels both fully realized and continuously unfolding.

“Anthony Walker commanded as much appreciation and adulation from a relative handful in a local dive bar (I mean that in the best way) as Bruce Springsteen and a 15 member E Street Band did for 20,000 in a hockey arena.” - Jeff Raspe, Music Director at WBJB-FM (90.5 The NIGHT)

“Walker and The Medicine Chest manage to control several compositional styles and still retain the original essence of his folk beginnings, and that ability has paid off in the form of packed rooms and pillaged CD racks throughout New Jersey.” - John Pfeiffer, The Aquarian

“Walker croons with a wounded swagger that, backed by the band's bittersweet ebb and sunny, hook-laden flow, calls to mind the Golden State country-fused rock of Parsons' Flying Burrito Brothers and the Byrds, Poco and, most noticeably, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.” - Steve Bove, The Asbury Park Press
