Community Pub Night – Saturday, November 8thFeaturing a Fajita Buffet and Live Local Music

Looking for something to do on a Saturday Night, right here in the Winchester area?

Winchelsea Events will be hosting a Community Pub Night on Saturday, November 8th featuring Tom Savage.  Tom is taking his show on the road, and this time it is he alone, acoustic guitar in hand, bare-bones and stripped down. His accompaniment : the space around him and the silence he allows with each rest in the music. The focus is on the lyrics but don't fret, Tom always has some guitar wizardry tucked up his sleeve.  For more about Tom and his music, visit his website,www.tomsavage.ca

Enjoy a great evening out (dinner and show) for $30.00 per person plus HST, so call the babysitter, tell a friend, and come hang out with your neighbours from around our community at Winchelsea Events!

Reservations are required. Make your reservation by calling 613-808-9258 or by email at events@thewinchelsea.com.

On the Menu:

Chicken Fajitas with Fresh Guacamole, Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese, and Sautéed Peppers and Onions
Flour Tortillas
Homemade Salsa with Corn Chips
Fiesta Salad
Tijuana Caesar Salad
Mexican Rice
Spiced Chocolate Dulce de Leche Cake
Tea and Coffee

2014 : The Year Of Creative Possibility

Incredibly excited about this next calendar year, for it will be filled with a multitude of creative projects for me. Since the creative surge that produced a string of albums, Never Shed No Tears (2006), TST's The County Line ( 2008), and Live @ The Acoustic Grill (2009), I have definitely dropped off in my frequency of releasing albums, with the Internet-only EP Living Room Session (2011), and the limited edition release of TST's Overdrive Express (2012). The latter two albums were very much less involved projects. They were experiments, in a way, of alternative methods of recording and releasing albums.

I think 2014 is the time to get back on that horse. I'm looking at the possibility of releasing three different albums with three different groups. In fact, the process has already begun, with our recording of the Foley Mountain Playboys last month. A great session that sounds really promising.  Also, we've had tracks for the Aldous Huxters record down for over a year. Will 2014 be the year when this project sees the light of day? I certainly hope so. A great collection of songs there that deserve to be heard. 

Last but not least, 2014 will also the release of my first (studio) solo record since 2006's Never Shed No Tears.

More on this project in the weeks to come.

Add my live show schedule to all of these projects, and one might think I've got too much on my plate, but I say, "Bring it on!!".

Currently fundraising for my solo album on Sellaband. From now until the end of December, I will personally match any contribution towards this project. i want to wrap this up so I can concentrate on the music.

Tom Savage Trio Taking A Break From The Road

It's been a good run over these past seven years, but now it's time for TST to take a break from the road. We've been working hard to bring our brand of dirt road rock and roll to music fans all over Canada, and we appreciate everyone who have come out to shows over the years, and bought merchandise, and given us food and drink, and helped us promote the shows, and given us couches and floors to crash on, and written articles about us in their local paper, and have interviewed us, or had us play live on their radio shows, and helped our record chart on Canadian campus radio, and so on, and so on.

Many of you know of our legendary (some have compared us to Spinal Tap) turnover in drummers. I'm happy to say that the frequent change in drummers had nothing to do with personality conflicts, and Geoff and myself remain friends with all who played in the band. Thanks to Sandy, Joe, Chris, Jeff, and Gary for being a part of the band. And thanks to all of the other drummers who auditioned, or almost played in the band(which would be every drummer in Kingston I think).

At this point in my career, I find I need time to step back, reevaluate things, and figure out what my next move is, both creatively and professionally. Got some ideas, but for much of 2013 I'll be ruminating over them.

Don't worry folks in Eastern Ontario, you'll still see both Geoff and I playing around this area. We are both rocking out with the Tony Silvestri Band these days, and Geoff is also playing around Kingston with Bent On Soul.

I'll be doing a number of shows with Kevin Davidson on fiddle, playing my own original music, and staying busy on the scene. Who knows? We may play the odd TST show in Kingston. Stay tuned for updates about new projects coming down the line.

And even though we aren't touring Canada for awhile, you can still buy/download our records.

Keep on Rockin'
Tom

Song #8 Week #8 2012 Song A Week Challenge

I'm getting in touch with my inner lounge lizard on this week's tune. This one is written in an interesting lyric style.Basically using only two words for most lines. There is a story in there. See if you can pick out what it is about.

This week we have a special musical guest. My lovely partner-in-crime, booking agent, publicist, and Mother of my children, Vanessa Longul. Stick around until the end of the tune to check out her smooth jazz flute solo. I've mentioned that Vanessa was playing on this week's track to some other musicians around town, and they've expressed interest in making their own guest appearance on a song of the week, so watch for more special guest musicians in the week's to come.

Also, be sure to swing by my buddy Ross Neilsen's site to see what he's got cooking for week #8.

cheers,
Tom

Are You On Twitter ?

We are. Well, I am. My username is tomsavagetrio, however. I am quickly getting addicted to this micro-blogging thing. You can follow all of my updates on our website, myspace, or blog(still tying to figure out how to get them on the facebook page though). Or, if you are on twitter, you can follow me on there. It's a great way to keep up with what the band is doing on a day-to-day basis.

Cheers,
Tom Savage
