Tom Townsend

'September sees Tom Townsend back in full cry with a full band (including horn section), bringing his ‘nobody-else-like-him’ blend of soul-soaked vocals and floor-trembling rhythms to Yorkshire and Humberside. For those of you yet to spend an evening in the company of this high-voltage performer, be warned, it may get sweaty.

Hard to define, an evening of Tom’s music is a breezy, playful cross between the barrel house energy of New Orleans jazzmen, the stadium sophistication of Steely Dan, and the coffee house intimacy of Paul Simon. Every note is worth every penny, so catch him if you can.
