Tom Conlon

Don't you love that unexpected call? You know, the one from a friend that you haven't talked to in a while. The friend you have wondered about, so many times over the last year. The person you have spoken of in your mind and said such things like, "Man, I love that guy" or "I hope he is well."

Tom Conlon called me today. He is living in Massachusetts for the winter. He is a songwriter that you really should know. His music is moving, but even moreso is his heart. I do believe he maybe the nicest guy I have ever met. I have opened up for him many times and each time I feel blessed to have had the opportunity. He has several records out and plans to be back on the road in February. By the way, he travels by himself in a converted short bus with his dog, Roadie. What an amazing way to travel!

Here is a video of Tom performing one of his best songs, "Leaning." Every time I hear this one tears well up. Please support this guy if you can. He deserves it.
