Thomas Palminteri is a singer/songwriter, composer with a subtle and varied gift for lyrics and melody in the tradition of Paul Simon and Randy Newman. He has written both songs that tell a story such as �Spring Has Gone� and Waiting for the No.12 and composed instrumental music such as �Journey to the Black Madonna� the enigmatic Mass in C that defy categorization.
In his teenage years he developed a strong appreciation for Rock music beginning with The Beatles and later became enamored with the more eclectic groups of his adolescence such as the Talking Heads and Elvis Costello. Later in college when he decided to study music more formally Tom became deeply affected by Classical and Jazz� particularly J.S. Bach, Mozart, Faure and Debussy.

Why this name?
Well it is my name. Ha, ha...I am a Singer/Songwriter and guitar/piano player. I have been writing and performing my music for over 15-years. As lifelong fan of music, film and art in general I started taking music more seriously when I entered SUNY Purchase�s school for Studio Composition in 1988. At Purchase I started the group Eric's In Oregon in the late 1980�s as a showcase for me and my friend�s songs. Although I consider them all to be terrific musicians eventually Eric's In Oregon became a �sometimes a group sometimes a solo act� kind of thing featuring mainly my songs and compositions so as of late I am playing out as simply Tom Palminteri. I am still great friends with the former members of Eric�s In Oregon. Many of there names are listed here. But right now I am currently looking to record and perform as a solo artist, Tom Palminteri.
Do you play live?
I enjoy performing live is varied venues. Most recently my favorite place to play is The Pisces Cafe in Babylon NY! A great place for live, original music!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It is amazing! I mean because of the Internet there is no reason why artist can't be heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I mean the major labels have the best record producers and studio's. I love the whole "do-yourself thing" but I would like to eventually be produced by a major label.

Your influences?
Many of my influences have been listed here. I see my work in the tradition of people like Paul Simon and Elvis Costello (in that I dabble in classical and jazz) although as you can see there are many influences here such as The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, The Who, The Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, Simon and Garfunkel, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, R.E.M., U2, Joni Mitchell, Louie Armstrong, John Lennon, Elton John, Gabriel Faure and many others to be sure.
I feel music is a great art form. It has the power to touch many lives. I try my best at creating good music and meaningful lyrics.
