Tom debuted with The Loomers in 1999 at the PARTNERS simons holiday party -- playing guitar and singing Slim Harpo's "Scratch My Back." Although he continues to play regularly with the band, he has not been allowed to sing since. With the easy and enviable assignment to make Everett look fantastic, Tom will occasionally let rip with a lick or two, just barely reminiscent of his faves: Duane Allman and Dickey Betts.
