From Buffalo NY, Tom has been a musican/producer/writer for some 30 yrs now, living in Nashville producing Buddy Guy's last 4 records, and touring with him all over the world. Tom's first song 'It Hurst So Bad' was picked up by Susan Tedeschi which appears on her first record and was a huge hit for her. On the phone with us from Nashville, Tom graciously lets us into his world, up at Farmers' hours I call it. Down the Hatch, Tom's solo record is out this day, opening up the interview with 'Everytime I sing the Blues'. Closing track is Buddy Guy's Upside Down which Tom wrote and produced.
