The Spring Artisans Festival in Naples, NY 22 & 23 of May, 2010 all day with high end art & not too many crafts and a huge wine tasting tent!!! I will be playing solo at Imagine Moore Winery, 197 No. Main St., Naples, just a few blocks away, with a Salsa Dance exhibit by Sheila Trumble. 2-4 on Sat afternoon.

The solo act consists of a variety of music, including jazz, classical, pop, easy listening, classics, crowd favorites and Motown. The flair of the solo act is the use of a variety of instruments. Tom combines some of his own pre-recorded keyboard & percussion tracks along with live performances on the saxophone and flute for a complete one-man, multi-instrument show. Live solo piano or keyboard with vocals completes the package. Tom has performed at the Memorial Art Gallery, the School of the Arts and the Everson Art Gallery in Syracuse. He has also performed at weddings, restaurants, festivals, corporate events ,nightclubs and privateparties throughout the Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany areas. Tom began playing music at the age of 8. At age 16 he received a music scholarship to New Mexico State. He has also studied at the Eastman School of Music and majored in flute at SUNY Brockport.
