Bio:  Tom began playing guitar at thirteen, when his younger brother got a guitar for Christmas. Tom claims that they shared it, but he quickly became obsessed with it.  He played in Long Lost Friend in college, then spent years in his bedroom with the guitar.  His brother talked him in to buying another electric guitar during the 1990s and he has rarely put it down since.

Tom has played with the Brakes, No Brakes, the Blind Squirrels, Shelley and the Ragin' Rhythm Band, the 40th Street Band, the BIO Band, and Magnolia Road.
