Tom Murray

Drummer At Large

About Me

Born in Worcester MA., Tom’s road to success proved worthy as he has had the fortunate destiny of playing as a band member with hit makers Meredith Brookes, Paul O’Toole (Young Dubliners) in STAND, and Grammy® nominated The We Five, whom he is currently touring with.Schooled in various styles including rock, alternative, R&B, blues, pop and world music, Tom’s ultimate goal is to play with musicians who have similar objectives. Tom brings with him an abundance of experience, professionalism, enthusiasm, highly creative tastes and a willingness to try new things.A strong and steady beat keeper, he is a vocal drummer who has sung lead and back-up. “When I play I want people to feel like I feel when I'm moved by music, to feel how I feel when I hear a great song.”Tom currently chimes in with the Valerie Gallagher band recording originals and revivals in a Sheryl Crow/ Cranberries/Alanis Morrissette style, as well as local LA blues/rock band Slavin’ Dave (with whom he has opened for The English Beat). The We Five is currently keeping him busy with a national fan base where he plays around California and is soon to be doing shows nation wide. Look for him at a theater near you!
