WHAT THE PROS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT TOM DOWD AND BURIED IN BLUE:
"TOM DOWD, WHO LEADS THIS GROUP OF TALENTED MUSICIANS, COULD HOLD HIS OWN WITH THE BEST BLUES, ROCK AND ACOUSTIC ROCKERS OUT THERE. FORTUNATELY FOR US, HE'S LOCAL. AND HE'S HUMBLE........ WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON TOM AND HIS BAND ARE STILL LOCAL!"
"IF YOU WANT TO CATCH AN INCREDIBLE LIVE PERFORMANCE OF CLASSIC ROCK, POP AND BLUES WITH PITCH PERFECT VOCALS, POWERFUL DRUMS, AND SOME HOT HENDRIX STYLE GUITAR, SEE THESE GUYS SOON."
"BURIED IN BLUE IS BURIED IN TALENT. TOM DOWD CAN SING ANYTHING FROM ZEPPELIN TO TINA TURNER AND BLOW YOUR MIND. WHILE HE NEVER HOGS THE STAGE AND GIVES A LOT OF TIME TO THE TALENTED MUSICIANS WORKING WITH HIM, TOM CAN PLAY GUITAR. LISTEN CAREFULLY AND TELL ME YOU DON'T HEAR JIMMY PAGE AND ALVIN LEE."
"TOM DOWD IS BACKED BY "THE MACHINE," PETE MCGREGOR ON DRUMS WHO DELIVERS A HARD DRIVING PERFORMANCE WHILE SUPPORTING THE MELLIFLUOUS BARRY "BUZZY" ON BASS. KEVIN MCSWEENEY, WHO ADDS PERFECT HARMONY TO TOM'S VOCALS, PROVIDES LILTING OR SCREAMING SOLOS, DEPENDING ON THE SONG AS WELL AS PERFECT RHYTHM GUITAR. ADDING THAT KEY FEMININE ELEMENT IS THE EXTREMELY TALENTED AND PROLIFIC RENEE CARLSON. IF YOU LIKE HARP, YOU'LL LOVE HEARING RENEE."
DUDE!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, OF ALL THE WEEKENDS I BOOK MY TRIP TO NY (not to mention go to the bayou right after I land in white plains), YOU'RE PLAYING!!!
I AM SO THERE!!
btw everyone, I left Tom the fat $1 (or $5?) tip in his jacket the first time I went to the Bayou on a Thursday night. I was cold as f*ck and he lent me his jacket while he jammed. Awesome dude, awesome, I don't think I will ever live the shame down lol.
