Tom's Reviews

We hired Tom to play music at a proposal and could not have been happier with our decision! He's an incredibly talented musician who really elevated the experience and was so flexible with changing timelines/inclement weather plans. He was kind, professional, and very communicative.

Excellent musician. Tom was easy to work with. The gathering raved about his performance. His selections were spot on. He truly add to the event in a memorable way.

Tom's Song list

Ain't no sunshine

Just the two of us

Let's stay together

Feel like making love

Heard it through the grapevine

Isn't she lovely?

The look of love

This masquerade

My girl

Pick up the pieces

Sitting on the dock of the bay

Stand by me

Temptation

Time after time

What's going on?

Can't help falling in love

Thinking out loud

Don't know why

Everything

Sunny

Rich girl

What you won't to do for love

Careless whisper

Yesterday

and many more...
