PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
With his haunting and seductively resonant voice, his trusty guitar, and a heart full of songs, Thomas Wissing has embarked on a journey to share his multifaceted musicianship with the world. With his powerful baritone and percussive guitar methods, he generates a sound that is basic, distinctive, and pure.
Thomas' musical endeavor began when he was 11 years old, with his first drumset. Drumming did not remain merely a hobby for this disciplined musician. He became a schooled drummer, and eventually secured his position as drummer in various bands. Thomas did not lock himself into playing only one instrument in only one genre of music: "I learned to play Guitar, Piano and other Instruments on my own. I started with Metal, but I like every kind of music as long as it has 'soul'."
He continued to cultivate his musical talents, feeding on a wide range of influences, including Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Danzig, Ben Harper, and many more. Today, through the amalgamation of Blues, Folk, Rock, and multiple other genres, Thomas Wissing is indulging his listeners with a utopian array of rhythmical selections, able to satisfy just about anyone's taste in music. It all qualifies as blues music to some degree. A new melancholy blue.
Whether you are drawn in by his passionate lyrics or captivating voice, you are sure to find yourself quickly addicted and yearning for more!
