Bio
Tom O’Connor is an emerging Washington, DC
area musician and songwriter. Currently residing in Arlington, VA, the 27-year
old O'Connor is quickly establishing himself as one of the area’s top musical
talents. Tom describes his music as an, “organic blend between pop, rock, folk,
country, reggae and bluegrass.” Music critics have labeled O’Connor’s sound,
pop-folk at its smoothest and have compared it to the solo acoustic work of Eric
Clapton.
With his debut release, Frozen in Anticipation, O’Connor demonstrates a knack
for creating playful melodies and warm intimate lyrics. On Tap Magazine
proclaims, "O’Connor’s vocals are beautiful, and at times, swooning laments that
melt into fluid strumming and quivering string arrangements."
Since the release, O’Connor has been building his fan-base by playing shows
throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Regions of the country, hitting up
venues from New York to the Carolinas.
Though O’Connor mainly performs as a solo acoustic artist, occasional full-band
shows are scheduled. These performances feature an array of talented area
musicians and may include Andy Hamburger (drums), Scott Harlan (bass), Dan
Leonard (electric guitar) and/or Helen Hausmann (fiddle). |
