Sounds Like: A smooth and well told story that never gets old.Some people were just born to play a guitar. Seriously I think this kid came from the womb with a Martin clutched in one hand and the other was strummin' away. Not sure how his mother would have felt about that.... but anyways, back to the article. Even though Tommy is young there's a certain aura about him that makes him feel as if he's had much more experience than his 20 odd years of life would suggest. The fact that Tommy effectively mixes a number of different genres into his own blend gives his music a certain degree of variation that still offers the warmth of familiarity. There's also a distinctive level of earnestness associated with these tracks that I haven't seen from such a talented musician in a long time.

Why They Don't Suck: The lyrics in this music are not only well written and entertaining but often very relevant. Tommy has the rare ability to weave a storyline through the music as he plays. Watch for his band, Judas Feet's new album posted on SoundSuck sometime in the future.
