Music and Art were always Tom's passions. Back in the beginning, as a 19 year-old self-taught guitarist, Tom busked on street corners, performed at anti-war rallies, eventually finding his way into the New England coffeehouse scene.
It was the sense of endless possibility and adventure of the 1970s that lead to travels – first through Europe and South America, then to India and Southeast Asia.
Later journeys brought Tom to China and Tibet. Encounters with an array of distant people, cultures and ideas both inspired and enriched Tom’s art, music and lyrics.
When Tom isn’t on stage or working on new music he can be found composing at the easel. A highly accomplished painter in both watercolors and oils, Tom’s work can be found in collections and galleries in New Hampshire, Vermont and all over the New England region.
Friends John Gorka and LJ Booth have used Tom’s artwork to grace their album covers.
Tom has shared 40 years of life with Kate. They enjoy a happy marriage, living an art- and music-filled country life amidst gardens, antiques, and love.
