[1] A keyboard player with a professional career in excess of 40 years, Geraci has played on stage with Muddy Waters, B.B.
A few years later, a Kimball baby grand piano was purchased by his mother, as Geraci's playing proficiency grew.
[4] He had lessons at the Neighborhood School of Music, where at the age of 16, Geraci and a schoolfriend heard Jimmy Rogers recording of "Chicago Bound" (1954) which shaped his destiny.
[5] In the early 1970s, Gerachi relocated to Boston, Massachusetts and began immersing himself in the local blues and jazz scenes.
Through that connection he was approached by Michael "Mudcat" Ward and Ronnie Earl, and they jointly undertook gigs in both Boston and Providence, Rhode Island.
In the early days of the group, they backed several touring Chicago blues musicians such as Big Walter Horton, J.
[8] Superharps was an album issued in October 1999 that featured four harmonica players; James Cotton, Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Branch, and Sugar Ray Norcia, with piano accompaniment by Geraci.
The instrumentals sent a nod to Freddie King on "In The Quicksand, Again," plus a tribute to the recently departed Boston blues pianist, David Maxwell.
This included the original line-up of Sugar Ray and the Bluetones all performing on two tracks on the CD, "My Last Good-Bye" and "Times Running Out".
[11] Unusually Geraci himself handled the vocals on the track "Tutti Frutti Booty," the first time he had sung on any of his recordings.
[5] Anthony Geraci and the Boston Blues All-Stars were a 2021 Blues Music Award nominee in the 'Band of the Year' category, whilst Geraci himself was nominated for the sixth consecutive time in the 'Instrumentalist Piano (Pinetop Perkins Piano Player Award)' category.
[3] The ceremony took place on June 6, 2021,[14] and saw Geraci finally rewarded as that year's Pinetop Perkins Piano Player.
