Pumpkin Pie Coffee House Music Series/ Follow, Spin, and Win Contest

Things are revving up for what will be a busy summer of performances. Had a great holiday weekend of music that finished off with a double gig Sunday with The Tony Silvestri Band! First up, we fulfilled our duties as "The Seed-To-Sausage Band" in Tichborne at their annual "Day Of The Pig" celebration, then our caravan headed down Crow Lake Road to Westport (which was an absolutely beautiful drive) to The Cove for a show. Great crowd, as always, with folks coming from Kingston, Belleville, and Perth to take in some Holiday tunes ( and enjoy a fantastic Beef Brisket). Thanks everybody for helping to create the good energy in the room. We appreciate your support!

For those of you who may not know, The Tony Silvestri Band is a band within a band. Bonz, Richard, and I also perform as the Tom Savage Trio on occasion. 

But really, it's a band within a band, within a band, because Tony performs with us as well at shows that focus on my original material. If you have heard Everything Intertwined, you'll know the expert job that Tony did with his keyboard work on that album.

For those of you in and around the Kingston area, this Saturday is a great opportunity to see the band within a band...within a band, in action! We are performing at the Battersea United Church as part of the Pumpkin Pie Coffee House Music Series. This is a great listening room to perform in. The quiet that the audience provides really allows us musicians the freedom to work with the dynamic range of the songs in a way that is sometimes not possible in a barroom setting. Really looking forward to this. AND THERE IS HOMEMADE PIE!!!

  Tickets are $15, available at:

  Ormsbee's Mercantile, Sunbury
  Brian's Record Option, Kingston

Follow, Spin, and Win

I also wanted to let you know about a contest I'm running to help promote my Spotify page. Over the next couple Fridays, I'll be drawing winners of a Tom Savage - Everything Intertwined T-shirt, CD, and Poster.

All you have to do to be entered in the draw, is to follow me on Spotify, then share this link via facebook, twitter, or instagram. Be sure to tag @tomsavagemusic so I know you've shared. If you've followed me on Spotify already, and want to be entered in the draw again for the following Friday, simply share the link again and I'll put your name in the hat.

Last week's winner was Shelley Bishop, who already had a shirt, so she gave it to Bonz, who quite shockingly, did not have one yet.

See you on the road!

For those of you who do your listening and purchasing on the internet, today ( October 3rd) is the official release of Everything Intertwined. Itunes, CD Baby, Bandcamp, etc. Head over and have a listen. If you dig it, throw your money down.

Pre-order New Tom Savage Record Today!

Calling on all of my friends and fans, I'm so excited to share with you the news of my impending album release. My eighth record! I think you guys are really going to dig this music. A bit of a shift in styles for me, more of a pop/indie vibe on some of the tracks. I'm very proud of how this record turned out. Muchos gracias to Zane Whitfield, Dylan Lodge, and Phil Bova for sculpting the sounds.

And the band! Oh my God! It's a pure joy to hear the keyboard mastery of Tony Silvestri on this record. In his element, with Fender Rhodes and Hammond Organ as his tools. You can't beat those tones and the skill with which he manipulates those instruments.

Anyone who has seen Bonz Bowering perform live know that the 'Animal' t-shirt he sometimes wears certainly befits his on stage persona. We did our best to capture some of his lightning in the recording bottle on this project. Ultimately, I was most impressed with his tasteful, thoughtful approach to the songs. Chills.

My childhood friend, Seamus Cowan, rounds out the band. Seamus, a late bloomer by musical standards, came to my Mom's house in Westport at the age of 18, looking for bass guitar instruction. After showing him a couple of Led Zeppelin and Hendrix tunes, my most important instruction was to send him on to Zak Colbert (legendary Kingston bassist), where he soared to the depths of the low end. So happy to work with Seamus on a project after all these years. His tone and approach are amazing. Not to mention his impeccable harmony vocal work ( and one helluva scream!!).

I've got an LA-based radio promo team ready to push the songs to stations across North America. I'm hiring a publicist to spread the word to the print media. This costs money. Lots of it! I need your help friends. You can pitch in to help the cause for as little as $5! https://www.gofundme.com/tomsavagealbum8

Please share and help spread the word!
