Following in a not dissimilar vein to Tom Bradley is Tom Gee and band. Shaping up as every bit the professional act they sound, Tom has employed dual female backing singers and a tight rhythm section. Polished, well groomed and smooth as hell; he's is a supplier of shimmering funk rock akin to crying guitar styles of Carlos Santana and John Mayer. The gloss-blues appeal of his sound is executed with acute attention to detail. There's really little here to give Tom away as an unsigned act. Comfortable and cool, he orchestrates a set of expert tunes which are sure to win over a few amongst tonight's crowd. A very talented band and an arsenal of pop friendly songs, offering rest bite from the landfill indie mound will surely stand him in good stead. - Leeds Music Scene

Bio
We've been knocking around for 4 years now playing plenty of music you can sing and dance to. Influenced by Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Jack Johnson and Stevie Wonder we're a cracking band live with a great set. We've toured the UK twice, stopping off in Ireland the second time around, and we've been lucky enough to play venues such as HiFi Club, Wardrobe and The Library in Leeds, been on BBC Introducing and played a set at the O2 Arena in London last year. Unfortunately there's no sob story. I wish I could tell you we were doing this because the bass player's Nan died and we want to succeed because of her but that would be a lie. (His Nan's still alive and we want to play our music because we love what we do.)
