Tom Eastland is an alternative folk-rock singer-songwriter currently based in Peterborough, Canada. Born in Hawaii and raised around the United States until landing in Ottawa at the age of ten, Tom started out in music at the age of 18 as a “smart-ass poet with a guitar, questionable musical ability, and a peculiar voice”.
Through over 25 years of dedication to the craft of songwriting and an enduring commitment to public performance, Tom has developed a compelling voice and an extensive body of original music, rich in imagery, emotion and humour. Tom's songs have earned national airplay on Canada's CBC Radio, have charted on Canada's !earshot charts for community radio, and have been included in PBS's primetime television show Roadtrip Nation. Holding dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada, Tom celebrates music as a vital way to transcend borders and build community. Tom has performed hundreds of times at pubs, clubs and folk festivals across Canada and internationally, from Russia to Australia to Cuba and now enjoys performing frequently with the Tom Eastland Band.**
Uploaded here onto Myspace is a fave video from his last release: Pop Pop, a satirical adventure in post-suburban reconstruction. And also a video clip from one of the band's rehearsals, the new song 'Belladonna dont you cry', based on a poem by Tom's daughter Alexandra Eastland.
The 4 songs posted on the player are from Tom's latest release 'mot'. These songs include the talents of some of his favourite Peterfolk musicians, Michael Morritt, Joshua Fewings, The Weber Brothers, Charlie Glasspool, Michael Ketemer, Bakes, Cole Smith and Darcy Conroy...
