Item Description

Tom is a Needham native and the co-founder of the Plugged In Band program. This non profit rock band program for kids provides instruction and inspiration for kids in metro west, and an opportunity to give back.

Tom was an audio engineer at WGBH for 35 years, and in the staff band, Allston Powers.

Tom has performed with Frankie Lee, the Doowopp Hall of Fame Rock and Roll All Stars, Southern Revelation, SloBurn, Ron McPhatter, Lois Lane and the Daily Planets, Duke Blues Machine, DT3, Fervent Groove and many others. He has played at Boston’s Symphony Hall and the Montreal Jazz Festival, PPAC, and West Florida. He is also an annual adjunct in the Berklee guitar week classic rock ensemble.


This is the first year of Tom's first solo effort, which he is calling Far and Wide. The premise is simple: In his 50 years of playing in other people’s bands, he has played many songs that he liked, some that he didn’t like but he has always brought a lot of energy and soul to his performances. Now it’s his turn to choose. He has turned more to his love of the music he grew up with, although some is from before he was born - and he still hasn't finished growing up. Far and Wide is an evolving collection of great vocal music which excites and soothes, and draws in the casual listener with warm sincerity.
