Tom hails from White Plains, NY, but has made his home in the Merrimack Valley of MA for over 30 years. By trade, Tom is a history teacher. He headed up his school’s History Department for the past 10 years. In the classroom, Tom uses novels, non-fiction, poetry, plays, art...and music to teach about our nation's history. Outside the classroom, he continues to agicate with his music. When performing, he attempts to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." But in the end, it’s all about the songs and the issues that are most impacting us today.
