Very versatile, from sensitive ballads to high energy rockin' that has no equal. Loves his audience, which is why his audience loves him.
At the moment, my band is me. I've founded some awesome bands in the past: Benn Gunn, Eightballs, and Homemade Jam (HMJ). But let's just at this time call it Dynamic Productions, which is me.

Story behind the song
The song was inspired by the Sunday night hootenannies at the Dervaes family's Urban Homestead in Pasadena. Jules Dervaes and his family have been pioneers in urban organic farming for over 30 years.
Lyrics
THE URBAN HOMESTEAD Words & music by Tom Fair © 2013 Let’s go down to the Urban Homestead – Pasadena, by the Freeway Right down there on the Urban Homestead Jules and his fam’ly are workin’ away. Come on down to the farm in the city; Back to the future, back to the plan. Right down there on the Urban Homestead, Lovin’ the life back into the land. Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow! Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow! Fruits and veggies, baskets of berries; Handmade ice-cream tickles your throat Solar power, edible flowers, Eggs from a duck and milk from a goat. Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow! Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow! (to solo breaks) Sunday night we’ll heat up the griddle, Bring out the fiddle and rosin the bow. Ten guitars with Duane in the middle, Pick out a tune that everyone knows. Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow! Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow! Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow! Oh-oh-oh! Help the garden grow!
