Tom has been the undisputed occupant of "first chair" in every band he's played in, whether it's The Geyer St. Sheiks, River City Rhythm, The Illusions or any of the others.

Playing professionally for 17 years, Tom has paid his dues with interest, playing on street corners, festivals, bars and concerts across the continent, Ireland and Europe.

Tom's music was originally based on the blues of Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Rev. Gary Davis to name a few. He has since broadened his repertoire to include eclectic finger style guitar, claw hammer banjo and Irish tenor banjo.

Tom's playing has brought him acclaim from appearances on National Public Radio to the stages he's shared with The Neville Brothers, Guy Clark, Count Basie, Albert King and Eric Johnson.

To date Tom has released three CDs: Great Dream and Bootleg with The Geyer St. Sheiks, April Fools Day with The Fightin' Molly Maguires and just recently appeared on Stones Throw by the great piper Michael Cooney. Currently, a solo CD is in the works.

Tom has won numerous awards including Best Folk Band twice, Best Solo Artist and the latest, Critics Choice for Best Acoustic Guitarist in Saint Louis by the Riverfront Times Readers Poll.
