Tom Gillam @ The Redbird - 7:30 pm

Born in Southern NJ, Deptford to be exact, just across the bridge from Philadelphia, Tom Gillam spent his early years experimenting with a variety of musical muses and bands. In 1997 he released his first solo effort "First of All" a collection of roots based "country rock" songs inspired in part by his teenage love of the Southern California sound" of the early 70's. First of all although a mere glimpse into the music that would soon come to be Tom Gillam's "stock in trade", was a minor hit regionally in the NJ/PA/NY area.

His music has been called "Bombastic" "Heartfelt" and " Slide Guitar driven" or as Grant Alden writing for" No Depression magazine" so aptly put "“The edgier side of Americana coupled with a healthy dose of 70’s guitar rock” . Gillam himself says "it's just what I do, I make no apologies" He tours regularly throughout the greater TX area, nationwide and in Europe yearly with Tom Gillam's Kosmic Messengers and also records and tours as part of the Singer/Songwriter collective known as US Rails.
