Tony Houston is a Dayton, Ohio musician, bandleader, and lifelong blues guitarist who has spent decades keeping the spirit of American blues alive through live performance and mentorship.

Born in Dayton in 1950, he grew up in a large family with four brothers and one sister, eventually raising three children and becoming a proud grandfather and great-grandfather. His musical journey began in 1972 when he picked up the guitar and discovered a lifelong passion for the blues.

By 1974 he had formed his first band, launching a career performing throughout the region and becoming part of Dayton’s rich local music culture. Today Tony serves as the bandleader of The Primetime Blues Band, bringing classic blues sound, storytelling, and community connection to audiences across Ohio.
