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.
