    TOMMI AVICOLLI MECCA has been writing songs since he was a teen. His style has always been a little of this, a little of that, but his influences are jazz, folk and 60s rock. He has performed in a number of musical ventures, including a high school band called Spontaneous Creation, two duos: The Queer Boys, and Tallase and Mecca (two of our songs, "c'mon" and "october song" are featured) and, more recently, the Peaceniks. He currently performs solo and with other musicians and singers, including the Peaceniks, at rallies and events. His song, "Living Wage" has been used by the SF living wage movement in its documentary.
