Tom Smith: Vocals, guitar, MIDI/loop programming Additional vocals by Anne Schneider and Karen Underwood
Influences
Just about everything is an influence: Stan Lee comic books, Harlan Ellison short stories, my Sunday School being unable to explain dinosaurs ’n’ stuff, Lola Falana dancing, Julie Newmar in a Catwoman suit....
Oh, musically? "Creatively" would be more accurate, because the music comes from lots of things. I get as much from Carlin and Cosby as from Tom Lehrer, from Robin Williams and Jim Henson as from Allan Sherman. Some of the obvious influences beyond that are "Weird Al" Yankovic, Meat Loaf, The Beatles, Barenaked Ladies, Christine Lavin, Uncle Bonsai, Chuck Jones, Mel Blanc, Frank Gorshin, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Steven Sondheim, Howard Ashman & Alan Menken.
And whatever’s on the Internet this week. ;)

Jonathan Coulton with different (and way more) jokes; "Weird Al" Yankovic with a bigger book collection; really, like nothing you've ever heard before, only different.

The only recording artist to appear on both NPR's Sound and Spirit and The Dr. Demento Show, Tom Smith combines high-energy folk rock, SF/fantasy, popular culture, progressive politics, cartoon voices, unbelievably bad puns, and the occasional recipe into a show you will never forget. Winner of fourteen Pegasus Awards, three OVFF Songwriting contests, and a spot in the Filk Hall of Fame, no one is likelier to break your heart with one song, your head with the next, and your funny bone with the one after that. If you only catch one concert this year, well, you should get out more -- and, when you do so, go see Tom Smith live!
