I try to be as versatile as I possibly can. Playing several different genres and musical stylings. Thus making me available for just about any job thrown at me. I am available for spot "hired gun" fill-in roles, artist showcases as well as studio and road/tour work.

I have played a little bit of everything. Cut my teeth on country/bluegrass and southern gospel. Progressed to southern rock, modern rock and some heavy metal. When I relocated to Kansas City picked up on black gospel/r&b, funk and modern praise & worship. After living here a while I decided to expand my abilities. Learning some of the local favorites to Kansas City - blues/jazz stylings. Now have a total 31 years experience playing bass. Singing experience is now at 38 years experience. I have sang solos as well as background vocals for various groups and music shows throughout the years.

Raised all my life in an Assemblies of God ministers home. I have been around it all! Began singing at the age of 6, learned a total of 7 different intruments along the way. At the age of 13 I latched onto the bass guitar. Love the feeling of being the "concrete" or the "foundation" keeping the band together as a solid piece of musical "machinery".

I have played for some of Nashville's soon to be rising stars in the music industry Chad Gentry, and newly signed SONY Nashville artist, Josh Thompson. I'm sure you will hear from them both in the near future. And while playing for Josh opened with him for Josh Gracin. As well as recently playing for Scott Ford opening for Jamey Johnson.

Chad Gentry's current single "You Chose Me" is being aired nationally on Christian Adult Inspirational Radio. So call and make a request if you like listening to it here.

You can check him out at his myspace at: www.myspace.com/chadgentry

I have also played throughout the midwest US for artist showcases as well as events and festivals such as The Colgate Country Showdown competition at The Lake Of The Ozarks.



Stage experience includes having shared the stage with or played for the following artists:

Lindsey Phillips
Josh Thompson
Thomas-Marx
Chad Gentry
Josh Gracin
Candy Coburn
The Scott Ford Band
Jamey Johnson
Bleu Edmondson
The Randy Rogers Band
The Eli Young Band
Jason Boland & The Stragglers

   About Tom Flora
I PROUDLY PLAY G&L BASSES

PICKUPS 2 Fullerton-made G&L Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickups

I USE DR STRINGS



MM5-45 Fat Beam Marcus Miller

"FAT-BEAMS" Marcus Miller Signature Series. Stainless Steel Bass Strings on a Round Core. Marcus Miller has personally worked with DR to develop a new and improved version of one of the best stainless round wound bass strings on the market. The effort took over a year, and the result is a "fatter, deeper, smoother" string that satisfied Marcus Miller's demanding standard. Fatter tone. Deeper sound, smoother feel and response are the qualities that separate Marcus Miller "Fat-Beams" from all other ordinary bass strings. New "Fat-Beams" are also more consistent in feel along the length of the string, as well as string to string.

Medium 5-String w/125
Guages 45-65-85-105-125.


I USE SWR AMPLIFICATION
