About The Tommos:
Jenny May
Jenny May grew up in a small town in New England, and since moving away in 2003, now calls Oxford, England her home. Inspired by Jimi Hendrix - the man and his music, the desire to explore beyond the musical circuit of northeastern America was too strong to ignore. With a background that includes singing on a track that appears in Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia, sharing the stage with such acts as Toots and the Maytals, Lonnie Mack, The J. Geils Band, NRBQ, 10,000 Maniacs and Rosanne Cash, performing at festivals (Coors Light Balloon Festival, Ben & Jerry's); the infamous Nectar's in Burlington, Vermont and releasing her independent EP 'The May Sessions', Jenny was ready to continue her journey over seas.
Jenny then took a short break from music and in 2003 travelled to England, where she met Dave Tommo.
Dave Tommo
Growing up in Portsmouth, England, Dave Tommo was influenced at a young age to pick up the guitar and write songs upon hearing the music of The Clash and the lyrical genius of Crass and Bob Marley. Dave has played the British music circuit as singer, bass player and contributing songwriter for punk band 4 Minute Warning; Brighton based reggae band The Jam Jah Tree and more recently, was the founder of Oxford ska band The Drug Squad, who self released a debut album and played venues throughout England.
Since meeting Jenny, Dave's songwriting has been taken to a new level, challenging him to even more rewarding experiences by writing songs together. With their diverse background and musical influences, they have now come together to produce a sound all their own.

It's 3:04, you've spent all night reading Kerouac and Ginsberg, smoking French cigarettes and wearing your essential black and white beat poetry ensemble. As a lazy shuffling drom beat brushes into your personal soundtrack what else can you do but get on the road? Laid back beat jazz rhythms from the ever fascinating British film crew Hum-Drum Films and Miles To Go.
Hey, just wishing you a great Wednesday night. Things are cool over on this end, just enjoying the night and writing some tunes. much love ~adrian adrianrhen. com
