Tom Baker is the guitarist for the eclectic rock ensemble The Silent Screen, as well as a prolific solo artist and producer. His playing can be described as both very tasteful, and at times virtuosic. He seamlessly blends electric and acoustic tones from diverse styles and inspirations (including folk, rock, pop, punk, prog, blues, and free jazz) into a very unique sound, with very deep, insightful lyrics, and a refreshing amount of vulnerability. He is constantly working in the studio, and no two of his projects sound alike.
Just wanted to say how much we sincerely appreciate all the new friendships we've made recently, all the people that have remained friends, and especially all the people that have become fans of our music. We also love all the nice comments, please keep on coming by! We couldn't have gotten this far without all of you.

Hey Tom,
It was great to see you last week back in KY. I wish we had had a chance to catch up a little more. Hopefully we'll get to hang out more next time I make it in.
Or.......
You could come chill for a while at the beach and play for tourists with me. Somehow I see you having some difficulty convincing the Mrs. on that one.
Peace
Bill
Hey, if you have music or a band or have friends in a band why don't you check out the global myspace battle of the bands to get some innovative promotion and publicity for your band! Now that I am a friend I thought I would mention it. Its a great way to really get the word out about your music.
All you do is place a link on the battle of the bands website and link it back to your myspace website. The band with the most clicks on their ad WINS! For every band/artist that posts a small link on the site, I will do a formal review of your music and it will be on my myspace blog, my battle of the bands site blog, also sent out to some significant music forums (gulfcoastbands, . music site.com etc) and also sent out to my friend base via bulletin on myspace. A total of over 95, 000 people will see your review today and each day that number grows! This plus the clickthroughs to your myspace site by having the picture link on a high traffic site like the battle of the bands makes this a pretty innovative and inexpensive way to get some publicity!
SO REALLY AT THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS EVERYONE WINS!
Checkout the site and then get started.Its very inexpensive to post an ad. Email me with any questions.
