Tom, 24, is unique in the fact that he sings, plays most instruments, records, and produces all of his own music. With his hands on everything, Tom approaches each song with excellence in mind. From a simple melody, which transforms into a full song, to an acoustical interlude, the music is anything but ordinary. Tom's music is a fun/laid-back blend of the Goo Goo Dolls meet Travis meets Ben Folds.
Through his music, and while performing, Tom has an ability to connect with the college crowd with his acoustic based piano/guitar concert. The passion for his writing is found in the honesty of the song lyrics. Each song paints a picture of both the humanness and genuineness of the things Tom holds true in life. He can and does relate to where the average college student is at in life.
