“If we lose control, we force restart.”

Sometimes, life as you know it comes to a grinding halt
and there’s nothing you can do about it.

After a couple fast-paced years that saw BIG FUZZ land festival bills across Canada and the US—from Rifflandia to Treefort Music Fest to Winterruption and beyond—that’s exactly what happened to Anthony Cenerini.

Within the span of weeks, an injury left him stranded in a hotel room on Vancouver Island unable to walk and he was evicted from his long-time apartment on the West Coast.

Add to that the decision of a long-time collaborator to largely leave the stage and studio behind, and Anthony felt there was nothing left to do but shut it all down, pack his life in a friend’s semi trailer, and head back to his hometown. That’s it, back to Winnipeg!

Of course, that meant BIG FUZZ needed a fresh start, too.

After all they’d been through, maybe Anthony and BIG FUZZ were one.

Once poised to be “…the next big touring project out of BC.” (Rocktographers, 09/2023), one could think Cenerini is starting from scratch taking on the BIG FUZZ moniker alone.

But as a full-time producer and multi-instrumentalist with an impressive resume that includes Juno-nominated collaborations, college radio hits, millions of streams and views, and stints with a variety of Canadian touring acts, maybe this is just a reawakening.
