"Tom is very talented, professional and accommodating. His performance elevated our event and we will be forever grateful."
Let's talk — I respond to every inquiry personally and quickly.
Additional booking notes
I provide 100% of my own professional backline — PA system, microphones, guitar amps, and all cables. No venue equipment needed, though I'm equally comfortable working with house sound if preferred.
Setup typically requires 30–45 minutes and a standard 110v outlet. I'm happy to discuss any technical requirements in advance to ensure a seamless experience.
Space needed: Solo setup fits comfortably in as little as 6x6 feet. Duo/trio/band configurations vary — ask for details.
Volume: I play at the level your event calls for — background ambiance or full-energy dance floor, your call.
Travel: Available throughout the Hudson Valley, Westchester, NYC Metro, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Travel fees may apply beyond 50 miles from Congers, NY.

Influences and inspiration
Rooted in jazz harmony, composition, and improvisation — influenced by Monk, Miles Davis, Coltrane, and the great jazz masters. Grew up going to Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers concerts, which led to founding Dead Meat, one of the Northeast's top Grateful Dead tribute acts.
Equally influenced by Motown, soul, and funk — Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, James Brown — and the full American songbook: Sinatra, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and beyond. All 20th century American music lives somewhere in my playing.
The result is a guitarist and vocalist who can genuinely move between styles and read what any room needs.
