Tom’s Bio

Tom Brosseau, an LA-based progressive folk artist and Grand Forks North Dakota native, has a voice that has been called "totally earthbound and at the same time sorta out there in the ether." (NPR's All Things Considered).

July 2008 brings the digital release of Tom Brosseau's Tour CD, a 5 song EP of live recordings and an outtake from the Cavalier sessions with John Parish. The Tour CD and Cavalier not only share producer John Parish, they also share the Black Sparrow Press-inspired cover art. The physical EP, with cover art, will be available at Tom's live shows.

Cavalier, the 2007 travelling companion to Grand Forks was recorded in one week in Bristol England. Sunday Times (UK) gives Cavalier 4 stars and Pop CD of the Week honors.

Tom was invited by the Los Angeles Times to be a guest contributor to the Times new music blog, Soundboard, to record his SXSW experiences. Links to the blog on his site (http://www.tombrosseau.com) or at the LA Times (http://theguide.latimes.com/blogs/soundboard/).

"The voice is unmistakably in its own class -- a high, plaintive, almost feminine cry -- and the beautifully sparse songs sound as if they could've fit on Harry Smith's 'Anthology of American Folk Music.'" --Greg Kot,Chicago Tribune/NPR Top 10 of 2005
