BIOGRAPHY

Anton Migdal is a guitarist based in Boulder, Colorado, best known as a member of Squash, a four-piece described as blending the loose improvisation of jam bands with the songwriting discipline of indie rock. The group also includes Alex Tryon, David Oliver, and brothers Will and Griffin Keener, and has drawn local attention for its live shows and technical musicianship. Migdal also plays guitar in Tough Knuckle Teddy & The Bucket Brigade, a bluegrass lineup drawing from members of other Boulder bands.

WHY THEY'RE COOL

Migdal's interest lies in blurring lines: between jam-band improvisation and indie-rock structure in Squash, and between rock and bluegrass idioms in Tough Knuckle Teddy & The Bucket Brigade. A regional feature has singled out Squash for its combination of loose energy and precise musicianship, suggesting a player comfortable moving between genres and contexts.
