About the artist

.New! Got a shout out from Suzette 'Stella' Weakley in her write up on the Bloomington Songwriter Showcase in ..The Siren.., a publication of Bloomington Area Music! Thanks, Suze!.. .... Tom Marshalek has been writing and performing songs since the 80's. His primary style is Rock/Alternative, influenced by classic groups like the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, with crossover potential both in the directions of Country and R&B, serving to broaden the appeal of his songs. If you're pitching Tom as a performer, just say "Rock". But if you need a song from another genre for a project, feel free to ask him - he just may have one up his sleeve! Originally classically trained on the violin, Tom is also in demand as a lead guitar player (and occasional fiddler). Working as a mobile disc jockey also gives him the opportunity to keep up on the latest pop, rock, hip hop, and country, and see first hand what makes people dance, sing along, and smile. Although he is happy often working behind the scenes in the music biz, Tom, still babyfaced at age 46, is also a proponent of the idea that people are open to becoming fans of "new" performers of any age. Not only can they be highly entertained and interested by older performers, but it helps to keep their own dreams alive! .. Tom Marshalek is also involved in the ..Bloomington Songwriter Showcase.., which puts on a songwriters in the round show every Monday at the Player's Pub in Bloomington, Indiana. .. .. ..Also check out Tom's political and environmental blogs -...... ....The Raving Moderate.... - the most radically moderate blogger on the web! ....- and -.... ..How to Save the Earth Without Really Trying.
