Bio
....Like ..Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog..?..Then you just might like............Available on CD or Secure Download..No DRM -- ever!......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!....Besides the songs listed above, you can ..hear the first four tracks.. from Tom's comic opera (as in, superheroes), ....The Last Hero On Earth..... Not to mention................ ............................

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. ;) ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...................... .. ....Save The World - One Click At A Time!......On each of these websites, you can click a button to support the cause -- each click creates funding, and costs you nothing! Bookmark these sites, and click once a day!.......... ..........................................Click here to post this on your page or ’blog...... ..................
Sounds Like
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.

Available on CD or Secure Download
No DRM -- ever!

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!..

Besides the songs listed above, you can hear the first four tracks from Tom's comic opera (as in, superheroes), The Last Hero On Earth. Not to mention....

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.
