Tom Oakland Music
Singer-songrwriter, Anglo-Moravian mongrel. Folk, country, roots rock. New single out Singer-songwriter mongrel. New single out now!
Over the past ten years - singing and playing in the Ukulele orchestra jako Brno, the garage folksters the Oakland Sisters and the bluesy, roots rock Reverend Killjoy - I've played around 500 gigs ranging from summer festivals and concerts on town squares, club events, pub gigs and private parties, to smaller, more intimate performances in cafés and theatres. My solo work blends my Anglo-Moravian roots, folk, pop and country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epVUisYchdg

Six years of writing, rehearsing, recording, re-recording, re-recording, re-recording and re-recording. And after another year of radio silence (last post from May 30th), here it is! And for once, I'm really chuffed.
So click the link and give it a listen. You can even outright buy the tracks, if you like them. That would, of course, be much appreciated. (Or just play each track 1500 times on Spotify to boost the ratings.)
Anyway, 'nuff said. The main thing is, enjoy!
