Another installment of our Summer Saturday Music Series: 2 hours of live music with Sleepy Tom! Outdoor music event in the covered breezeway.
Tom Forsythe, AKA Sleepy Tom, Blues and roots singer/songwriter/guitarist. Designer/Owner, Archetype Graphic Design & Writing Services and SmallDogLaughing.
About the performer… in his own words:
I’ve been living and playing music in the Triangle for over 30 years. I play mostly blues along with a few originals and covers by artists like Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. Over the years, I have played with blues artists, Big Boy Henry and New Orleans street singer, Slewfoot. I have also recorded with monster guitarist & multi-instrumentalist, Kirk Charles Heydt, AKA Tin Whiskers.
I perform solo as a one-man band. For some of the electric Chicago-style blues, I add drums using a floor tom and snare with foot pedals. For funkier songs, I also add bass and drums using a Digitech Trio "Band in a box” pedal.
