Tony Craddock, Jr. is a saxophonist/recording artist from the Washington, D.C. metro area and the founder of the independent music label Cold Front Music. Music from his four albums — including his H2O album, produced by Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist Ken Navarro — have landed on Sirius XM Watercolors, Music Choice Smooth Jazz, The Weather Channel, Spotify’s editorial playlists, and more than 70 jazz and gospel radio stations.

Tony discovered smooth jazz on The Weather Channel’s “Local on the 8s” at the age of eight. The catchy melodies during the forecast segments led him to the saxophone and his passions for music and meteorology became inseparable. These interests followed him to Cornell University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Science. Now, he uses his saxophone to usher a breeze of inspiration into the minds and spirits of listeners, blending jazz, gospel, and soul — a sound he calls “Cold Front Music.”
