“In a city full of musical talent, Tom Meny stands out. His heartfelt vocals are one of a kind. You will beg for more at the end of his set which is why I've asked him to come back to perform again at my home. My friends and neighbors have been raving about Tom Meny after he first performed for us. His live show is incredible. I recommend booking him at any venue and especially in the intimate setting of your home.”

“Tom's ability to bring you into his world and tell you the story of his life and his experiences is astounding. His lyrics are simple, yet powerful and connect from the very first line.”

"and now I’m sifting through the sands of time at his YouTube channel, listening in awe as the man wrings more soul from a selection of well-chosen alt-pop songs than I thought possible. "
