Steeped in the traditions of American folk, country, gospel and blues, Tom’s is an Americana style of Alt Country meets Greenwich Village Folk Revival. Hailing from Hastings on the South Coast of England, Tom crafts heartfelt songs from everyday life, with a softly understated vocal style underpinned by a mix of Merle Travis style fingerpicking and country flatpicking.
Tom’s new album ‘Stops on the Way to Here’ was released 22nd March 2024. Previous EPs ‘The Road Less Travelled’ and ‘Ramblin’ Man’ are also available at his website and on streaming services.
As well as playing solo, Tom’s lucky enough to play with some of the best musicians in the local area under the guise of the Tom Cole Band, and also as a duo with long time musical collaborator Henry Bristow.
Tom also hosts a regular evening: Sunday Sounds at the Brickmaker’s Alehouse in Bexhill, introducing a quality guest folky songwriter, every last Sunday of the month.
