Biography
A powerfully honest vocal delivery and dedication to solid songwriting are only start of The Dollar Canon's charm. From one of the most elevated and encompassing trios around comes creative and engrossing playing on all fronts. A propensity for dynamic and emotional variety among and within songs is just another reason The Dollar Canon demands a listener's attention and affection.
The group formed in the fall of 1998 while songwriter George N. Skaros and drummer Anthony Armstrong were both attending the University at Buffalo. Philosopher and filmmaker originally assembled the three piece with Skaros on guitar, and within a month had recorded their debut EP "ones and zeros." The group racked up a staggering amount of regional live performances, sharing stages with the likes of Rainer Maria, Aloha, Juno, Pibald, Atom and his Package, DMS, and Ours in the process. As a result of their early efforts The Dollar Canon was awarded "Best new band" and "Best EP" by 91.3 WBNY Buffalo.
