Tom's music is strangely asymmetrical. Just when you think he's about to prove a point he's off in a whole new direction as if "the given" means absolutely nothing to him. I am chagrined yet astounded. I am thrilled and inspired. I am formulating a new theorem.

Bio
Native to the northern Catskills, Tom began playing blues guitar with Gary Smith (the elusive, holy Smiths) but an encounter with Doc Watson took him in a roots+ countryblues+swing direction. He played as a sideman for many years in bar bands and is a recovering jazzaholic. A convicted soloist, throws brings that 'on the edge of your seat' excitement to each performance with his daring, illegal solos and is known for pushing the musicians he plays with to new heights of creativity. He recently played and sang for the installation of the President of SUNY Cobleskill and is currently at work on an oft requested second album 'Tom Throws', due out on January 1st, 2010.
