Enjoyed by all!
I hired Tom to play at our Holiday Luncheon. He arrived on time and set-up with no additional outside assistance needed. As an Event Planner, I appreciated that he was very self-contained, since I was still setting-up the event. He began playing on time as agreed and all the guests enjoyed his singing and playing throughout the luncheon. He has a delightful singing and speaking voice. You will not be disappointed, if you hire him. As a bonus, he is extremely easy to work with.

Always the right sound.
I have booked Tom for two events and he has always performed excellently. One party was loud and boisterious with 250 people, the other was a cocktail party for 20. His music was the perfect sound for both events. The music choices suited the event and the volume of the music was enjoyable and perfect. His playing skills are excellent. I found him to be quite professional in his communications and setup. And an extra bonus is that he is so pleasant to work with - very accommodating and genial. I would not hesitate to book him again.

About
When he suffered a lip injury that ended his career as a classical trombonist, Tom Godfrey thought his life as a musician was finished, but he fell in love with music all over again when Santa gave him a guitar for Christmas in 2003. As a trombonist, Tom performed with the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band at Langley Air Force Base, the Ohio Light Opera, and in pick-up bands for touring acts that included Rosemary Clooney, George Burns, and the Manhattan Transfer. Reborn as a jazz guitarist, Tom now sings and plays his own solo arrangements of jazz classics, performs with his jazz vocal combo, Tea for Two, performs in musicals with Act3 Productions, plays with The Standard Quartet, and accompanies jazz singer Lori Guy. Tom also been a freelance music copyist since 1995, teaches private guitar lessons, and is the music director at Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Sandy Springs, GA.
Tom performs elegant Swing and Latin guitar arrangements of classics from the '30s and '40s. Depending on your needs, Tom can appear as a solo artist, with jazz singer Lori Guy, with a small jazz combo, or with a swing band.
