Canadian Recording Artist
Tommy John Ehman
Biography:
?It?s always been about the song?, says Tommy John Ehman on his musical journey that has taken him across Canada and an endless trail of songs, stages and guitars.
Tommy?s singing career took a turn for the better when he decided to ?go on the road? in a country rock, cover song band in the early 1990?s. Traveling extensively across western Canada playing shows six nights a week proved a valuable learning experience for a budding young musician. There were endless hours on the road which was an open invitation to really concentrate on songwriting. With musical influences like John Mellencamp, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard and Bruce Springsteen Tommy wrote with his conscious and followed his heart and had compiled a large catalogue of original material.
That dedication to songwriting led to a 1996 CD release entitled ?Wasted Nights?. A collection of 10 songs written by Tommy and along with his band Idle Rains got his recording career off to a great start. The album garnered moderate radio airplay and was well received by fans and the music industry alike. The band toured extensively across western Canada for the next few years to support the release. Then in 2002, with a handful of songs, Idle Rains again headed into the studio to produce a follow-up to Wasted Nights titled ?To The Wall?. Again hitting the road, the band toured and showcased the new music to their fans across the prairie provinces.
All the while, Tommy had a vision in mind that would lead to his next recording project. Having grown up in rural Saskatchewan, he had long wanted to pay tribute to his fellow farm families which led to 2005 and the solo release of his album ?Like Father; Like Son?, an acoustic CD he dedicated to rural families from all across Canada. As an independent release the disc has sold well over 500 copies and has received a nice response from Saskatchewan radio and as well led to performances on CTV?s national weekend morning show ?Good Morning Canada?, ?The Canadian Western Agribition? in Regina, SK and ?The Toronto International Farm Equipment Show? in Toronto, ON where Tommy was the headline performer on ?Centre Stage? during the farm show.
This leads us to 2007 and a new chapter in the musical career of Tommy John Ehman.
With the pending release later this year of his 4th CD, tentatively titled ?Wheels Of Life?, Tommy is poised to take his music and songwriting to another level. With Brad Prosko of B-Rad Studio in Regina, SK, producing and the likes of Bass Guitarist Garry Tallent of Bruce Springsteen?s ?E- Street Band? lending their skills, this new project is sure to be the most successful yet. But it definitely won?t be the last!
Tommy continues to write and perform his music with no end in sight.
