Anyone heard of him? I saw him on Mountain Stage several months ago doing an (amazing) Beatles medley. I’ve never seen anything like it (he was on stage by himself, but you’d swear there was three guitars playing.) Anyways, TiVo’s been trying to find that episode for months now with no luck. Has anyone else heard of him before? I’d like to try and find more like that, or if possible find a DVD where he does that song. Anyone???
He’s very well known here. A little showy for my tastes, but he can certainly play. Try his record company’s page for him.
I’ve seen him in concert a couple of times, including once where he supported Eric Clapton. I never cease to be amazed at some of the stuff he can do.
His life story is fascinating - I expect a Google search will find some relevant information. He got into more than his share of trouble early on, but converted to Christianity and cleaned up his act. I find his particular Christianity naive (“don’t think about it, just believe” is as close to a verbatim quote as I can recall) but it certainly seems to be working for him.
In the early days he performed with his brother Phil, and at one point Tommy was a member of the Australian band Dragon. I try not to hold the latter fact against him.
