Tommy Cro is an American Singer/songwriter. His sound can be described as a conscious bridge between American past and future of indie-folk rock. He is currently finishing his third EP as a solo artist as he prepares for his next wave of live performances.
“If you listen closely to Tommy’s songs like CLARITA and DIGITAL SEX TAPE, you can totally hear the mash up roots invoked into his unique stripped down / hard-edged strumming patterns. Also, Tommy has that deep soulful silk ‘n grit voice that makes for a refreshing blend of tone. And don’t even get me started on how dang Jeff Buckley Dylan-esque cool and quenching his lyrics are!”
-Rance Lane(The DANGALEROS)
Raised in the back swamp lands of Southern Florida’s massive Lake Okeechobee, Tommy was exposed to the Outlaw Country greats by his family who religiously listened to: Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. When Tommy was 16, he became fascinated with the second wave of Punk and Heavy Metal so he picked up his first instrument - a bass guitar - and dove head first into “holding down the groove” of his first band project. In 2015, Tommy opened for legendary bands Soulfly and Nile with his band, Dark Premises. His unique approach to songwriting and recording can be linked to his openness to create using a mash-up of such different genres. Adopting right hand strum patterns on his acoustic guitar from the likes of Slayer/Exodus/Pantera while blending his Waylon Jennings-esque, low to mid gritty voice is a definite standout among his peers.
As Tommy wraps up final production of his third EP set to be released early 2023, he is diligently rehearsing his set for a slew of live performances this summer.
