    Anthony da Costa is “Not Afraid of Nothing.” At least, that’s what he titled his new record, the eighth he’s released to date. An MSNBC.com 2009 Top 5 Up-&-Coming Young Singer and Folk Alliance “Emerging Artist of the Year” nominee, Anthony's music combines folk, rock, Americana and pop. In 2007, at age 16, he became the youngest winner ever at the Falcon Ridge and Kerrville Folk Festivals. In 2008, at 17, he released two, critically-acclaimed albums; played top folk festivals, including Kerrville, Falcon Ridge, Philadelphia and Tonder in Denmark; and opened for music icons, like Loretta Lynn and Dan Bern. Now, in 2009, at age 18 and a freshman at Columbia University, he’s venturing into new musical territory with Not Afraid of Nothing. While one foot's in folk, the other foot's loose and wandering into various genres, influenced by the work of artists ranging from Ryan Adams to The Smiths. In November 2009, Anthony will perform in Scotland; on January 2, he’ll open for legendary Texas singer-songwriter, Guy Clark in Virginia; the following night, he’s especially proud to be kicking off The Psalm Salon’s 2010 series.
