Shadow & The Thrill is a modern blues infused, groove laden, hook filled melodic rock band from Los Angeles whose future is largely dictated by the past of the man behind the band – Tony Cardenas-Montana.  Tony’s career has spanned decades and has garnered him a Grammy Nomination (with Capitol Records artist – Great White), numerous certified RIAA multi-platinum and gold awards, Billboard charting credits as writer and musician, and world tours and performances alongside Slash, Dee Snider, members of KISS, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, and Motley Crue.

S&TT are currently preparing their second full length album (TBD) to follow up their debut album, SUGARBOWL which was mixed by the certified multi-platinum, and Grammy Award winning, Sylvia Massy (Grammy: Johnny Cash).  SUGARBOWL and the next release will feature the incredibly versatile lead vocals and masterful guitar work by Tony as reviewed by Guitar World and Classic Rock Magazine.

Tony Cardenas plays PRS Guitars exclusively, and he and Shadow & The Thrill are listed as an Official PRS Artist.   He is an endorser of Analog Alien Guitar Pedals, Jim Dunlop Guitar products, Seymour Duncan, and Ultimate Ears Pro.
