    It’s been so long, but it’s been exactly 40 years since Stevie performed live at the el mocambo on July 20, 1983, he was such an amazing player and every note he played there came from his soul

    Tommy's love of SRV is one thing but his dedication to knowing and understanding all the nuances of what made SRV playing is what sets him apart from others. Its just cool to watch him do his thing.

    Such an awesome video, I’d love to see another one showing his amps and pedals. I’ve been a huge fan of Tommy’s for many years. He’s such a phenomenal talent, and an incredibly hard working musician he deserves a ton of recognition, thank you for doing this video!

    When Tommy came out to Nacogdoches, Texas, I got to play Norbert. He was apprehensive to let a kid play it (can’t blame him) but I he let me do it and he told me to keep up the playing. A really great moment for me🎸

      He’s super nice. I took lessons from him when I was 13-16 ish and he’d always let me play any of his guitars. Sometimes we’d swap guitars for the lesson. He’s awesome

    Thank you so much for doing these videos. Tommy is a wonderful soul and deserves all the good attention, promotion, and praise you are providing. I love him as a brother, and know his dedication and relentless pursuit to honor his heroes has been unfortunately attacked by others. You are helping show the guitar world how giving, humble, and respectful he REALLY is... Yes he is an amazing musician, and he is an even more amazing and noble human. Hence, why I thank you for featuring Tommy on your channel. Hope to meet you at the Dallas Guitar Show next year!

      I think "tribute artists" like Tommy are weird. I get paying respect to fallen guitar heros and musicians, but when hes literally copying and mimicking SRV on stage and off stage even down to his mannerisms... thats a little weird. Hes not even being recognized or making money off of his own music, hes getting paid to pretend to be Stevie. Dont this tribute artists want their own identity when it comes to playing guitar and writing music.

    They played at a Christmas on the square thing in Wills Point Tx about 6 years ago i guess. It was freezing and there maybe 10 people watching. They played like it was packed audience. After the show he let my then 14 year old hold
    #1 and pointed out the little details, talked amps and sound. Got some pictures with him. I'd never heard of them at that point, but I'm a fan for life. Awesome dude, awesome band.

    Having met and talked with Tommy at several clubs in the Dallas area I can tell you he is a very humble, extremely kind and accessible person as well as one of the best Texas Blues players. It's really hard to not think you are watching Stevie play when Tommy comes to life on his guitar. If you've never seen one of his live shows, do so, you won't be sorry.

Gotta request.... play some Gary Moore for us all, got no doubts you can do!! Me also huge Thin Lizzy fan I'm old been playing for decades!
