Tommy came to Nashville from Bowling Green, Kentucky, home of the national Corvette museum and springboard for music heavies including Sam Bush, Bill Lloyd and Jonell Mosser. In Bowling Green, Tommy founded a post-punk band called Government Cheese, and that band appeared on MTV, in a thousand black-box rock clubs, and in the pages of a marvelous book that Tommy penned, one called Cheese Chronicles: The True Story of a Rock n Roll Band Youve Never Heard Of. From there, Tommy joined friend Will Kimbrough in a short-lived but much-loved band called the Bis-quits. That groups debut and curtain-call album came out on John Prines Oh Boy! Records. Then, Tommy began a solo career that has produced six albums, two Best Song awards from the Nashville Scene Critics poll and one Scene cover story, effusive praise from Prine, Todd Snider, Jason Ringenberg, and other remarkable musicians, and songwriting cuts on albums by Snider, Jimmy Buffett, Jason and the Scorchers, and more. Hes kind of a big deal.
