Tom McCartney "Well Dressed Man" Released 10th Feb 2017

New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Company) "Delta Blues? From Nottingham? Just 17? No, that can't happen can it? Oh yes it can. This guy is olden and golden beyond his years - THE ZINE

"At sixteen Tom is nothing short of a prodigy"- Sonic Abuse

"Tom Waits-esque groan, powerful-yet-controlled, and seriously surprising the whole lot of us in the room. Playing a mix of originals and covers, Tom's set was one of the best of the night; you have to check him out, the kid has some serious, serious talent." - Nottingham Live

BIO
Describing himself as "a bluesy rock 'n' roll artist with some country twang", Tom McCartney is a young, up and coming blues, country and rock 'n' roll artist from Nottinghamshire, UK. Along with his recently formed backing band he hosts a set comprising originals and covers, acoustic and electric, upbeat and down tempo. You would be forgiven for mistaking him for a much older man - his deep, husky voice tells tales way beyond his 17 year age and his music reflects the struggles and pleasures his life has already brought upon him. He writes and performs his own original material with influences from Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Johnny Cash, Elmore James, Junior Wells, Noel Gallagher and Jake Bugg.
With a lot of life to live - and still much to learn - Tom looks to be well on his way . . and will hopefully be bringing the next generation of blues-lovers with him..
