Description
The David Thom Band has been a fixture on the Bay Area Bluegrass scene since they started playing together 15 years ago. David Thom, lead vocals and guitar, is passionate about the traditional sound but allows his band to range out into new musical territory from time to time. For this band, tradition means respecting the intentions of the original artists while maintaining a unique identity.
The hard driving 5-string banjo of Andy Shaw, the complexity of Brian Judd's mandolin, the soulful fiddle of Paul Shelasky, and the rock solid foundation and playful highlights of Jeff King's bass round out the band. Everyone contributes to the vocal mix as well, bringing variety and intense, chilling harmonies.
David Thom, himself a masterful instrumentalist, is highly regarded as a talented and creative singer. The David Thom Band has played at Strawberry, Grass Valley, The Great American Music Hall, The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and a long list of smaller festivals and fairs.
