Steel guitar music, nice and sweet sounding instrument.
Tomi has been on tour twice with Pam Tillis when in Australia as well as with the Warren Brothers and in Troy Cassar-Daley's support band for Merle Haggard.
He has backed such artists of repute including Lee Kernighan, Troy Cassar-Daley, Anne Kirkpatrick ,Alby Pool and many more.
He has recorded on CD's for Karen O’Shea, on both of Alby Pools Albums, Karyn Lynn, John Stephan, Hunter & Suzy Owens……
Tomi had already learned to play the guitar and banjo which made it easy for him when he started using pick blocking on the pedal steel as developed by Paul Franklin. His influences are Paul Franklin and to some extent Buddy Emmons and Lloyd Green. He plays a double neck 10 stringed x 2 Emmons with 8 foot pedals and 7 knee levers. Tomi lives in Sydney.
