Press Kit: Artist Information

Tom Smith

Personal

Age: 46
Residence: Ann Arbor, MI

Musical Genres

Unlimited. I have written in moods from dramatic to silly to romantic, in styles from operatic to hip-hop to Klezmer. I probably won't write any thrash metal or Eurodance anytime soon, but I could.

In concert, I perform acoustic folk-rock, mostly comedy, influenced by but in no way limited to science fiction, fantasy, movies, comic books, politics, popular culture, classic rock 'n' roll, musicals, and anything else in the immediate vicinity. Think Weird Al Yankovic, only more literate. Parodies, shtick with the audience, improv, lots and lots of puns.
