Bill
Toms & Tom Breiding
Bill Toms
is a local legend from his days as lead guitarist with Joe
Grushecky & the Houserockers, but it is his solo acoustic
performances that will sweep you away. With his consummate
guitar skills, engaging style and profound songwriting, he
is a double threat that is unmatched. Since striking out on
his own two years ago, he has done multiple concert tours
of Europe and the US. Often compared to Dylan and Waits, he
is a passionate performer you won't soon forget.His new album
Spirits, Chaos, and a Troubadour Soul is coming out
on April 5.
Wheeling native Tom Breiding
is another Americana style artist whose songwriting has received
great acclaim. His new release, The Unbroken Circle,
is a collection of songs that document events in the coalfields
of West Virginia from the early 1900's. Singing professionally
for more than 25 years, Breiding has carved his niche as a
chronicler of small-town America.
