ABOUT

I am a seasoned and professional American musician who is mainly a front man singer and also play rhythm guitar (electric and acoustic). I live in Woodrising, NSW, but would travel as far as Sydney if the situation is right. I am looking to join a band who either plays just for fun or has gigs. In my heyday I played often in New York City, and the apex was my time in the original band Wild History, who garnered the attention of Clive Davis for 18 months, but in the end it was no cigar, unfortunately. In the last 4 years I've put out 3 CDs of mostly original music under my artistic pseudonym Tom Pained. These CDs were recorded, produced and mastered by me in my home studio. You can find selected songs from these efforts on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. and hear previews of all my songs on the Tom Pained website, as well as12 videos:

I have a lot of energy and love the chemistry of being in a band. I also possess a good sense of humor. I could gig twice a week but practice one night a week. I am available any time of the day, basically.
