Tom Hoelle
Musician/Songwriter - I write and record as a creative outlet and use multi-track recording techniques to bring ideas to life. The results of these efforts can be heard here.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started playing around with the guitar when I was a small child... in the sixties (as did everyone else in the sixties). I played in a R & R band in the seventies and started playing around with multi-tracking on reel-to-reel recorders in the eighties. I bought a digital multi-tracker in the nineties and here I am today. Over the years I've focused on various styles, Rock, Pop, Blues, Classical, etc. Now my music incorporates bits of everything I've picked up along the way.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've performed live with various cover bands over the years, but I'm currently not actively persuing live engagements.
Your musical influences
I cut my teeth on the Beatles and rocked with The Who. I got into Progressive Rock with Yes and Genesis. My main blues influences include Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
