Anthony Esposito is an American hard rock bass guitar player and music producer, best known as an original member of hard rock band Lynch Mob, formed by George Lynch and Mick Brown after leaving Dokken.


Born in Brooklyn, and raised on Staten Island New York, Anthony Esposito began playing the upright bass, and at age 12 played for the Staten Island Chamber Symphony. At 15 years of age, Esposito was commissioned by the St. George Theater in Staten Island for their house band backing such artists as B.B. King, Bo Didley, Freddie Cannon, Speedo, and the Cadillacs, The Temptations, Four Tops, and The Spinners.

Lynch Mob (1989 - 1993, 1998, 2003-2004)
After his departure from Dokken, George Lynch, along with fellow Dokken bandmate, Mick Brown, set out to form a new group, drafting Anthony Esposito on bass. Working with a solid line-up, the newly formed Lynch Mob immediately began writing and recording a new album. The result was "Wicked Sensation" released in 1990 and widely held as Lynch Mob's best album. The record spawned two singles, "River of Love" which reached #19 on the Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart as well as "Wicked Sensation" which topped out at #31.
