Local Anthology is, "On a mission to defy the laws of tradition."

Local Anthology is a Tahoe based Original 4-piece outfit that came together in October of 2018 with the addition of NY bassist Tony Leombruno from the east coast prog band Capital Zen and Cam Davey multi-faceted drummer/songwriter from Palmer, Massachusetts. As we explore the sonic highway of creation, we float around Skunk Funk with a taste of Reggae & Punk. Combined with our positive, uplifting and thought-provoking lyrics, Local Anthology strives to create "True Rebel Music."
Drawing influence from 90's progressive funk rock, with sprinkles of Live Electro Dub Reggae, the band continues to build a storied soundscape, with the release of their sophomore album "Identity Crisis."
