Influenced by the instrumental guitar works of Nick Drake, Michael Hedges, Don Ross, and Phil Keaggy, Tom enjoys experimenting with the total creative power of an instrument. He plays guitar, accordion, bass, Celtic whistles, and various hand percussion.
Primarily a liturgical musician, Tom has also been invited to play as a guitar accompanist at the Ann Arbor Art Fair (Ann Arbor, MI), Windsor Celtic Festival (Ontario, Canada), and at a Baddeck Gathering Ceilidh (Nova Scotia, Canada). More recently, he was a member of the Back in the Day Band playing local community events in Louisville, such as the German-American Club and the Schnitzelburg #1 Citizen Dinner.
Tom serves as a liturgical musician as well as a musical entertainer for local nursing homes. He also currently plays in a Louisville-based cover band, The Pinball Sessions.
