   About Tom Gavin

Tom Gavin is a Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter, and quasi-multi-instrumentalist--not necessarily in that order. He appears regularly with a number of original groups, performing on guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, and whatever else is nearby. Playing his own music, he performs both solo and in a group that may include drums, bass, horns, and the occasional chanteuse.

Originally based in Boston, Tom spent four years hewing rough masses of noise with local trio Small Good Thing before moving to New York, where he began hoarding four-track tapes of new material while becoming involved playing with friends in a variety of groups. He started releasing home-spun CDs of his current songs with 2000's True Agnostics, and four albums later, has just finished Into the Weeds. Naturally, it's his finest work yet.

Tom's other current musical efforts include a long-standing stint as guitarist with Irish-Americana singer/songwriter Erin O'Hara, and a similarly long and colorful job as banjo strangler for avant-theater composer Amy Kohn. He is also the bassist-turned-guitarist for the collapsing-universe pop of Pete Galub and the Annuals, co-guitarist with (ex-Negative Approach) Chris Moore for the expansive chamber folk of Moore and Sons, fretted-instrument juggler for the earthy dirges of Ro Agents, and guitarist for singer/songwriter/piano-phenom Lee Feldman.
