Toms recent success on ESPNs WORLD SERIES OF POKER saw him take home 26th place out of 5,613 hopefuls and winning over $300,000 dollars. If you missed the TV coverage of Tom's ESPN poker interview, you can watch the video HERE
His success at the poker tables hasnt distracted Tom from his true love... music! Sartori is currently co-starring in the new NBC game show "THE SINGING BEE," hosted by Joey Fatone. Tom is one of the feature singers in the house band. The Singing Bee was this past summers number one smash hit.
Three time winner of the Buffalo Music Awards "Top Solo Artist Award" and winner of the critically acclaimed Artvoice Magazine "Top Acoustic Performer Award", Tom has proven his talent goes far beyond the poker table. Toms latest album, entitled "LONG RIDE HOME," was produced by legendary producer Geza X and mixed by Grammy Award Winner Charles Dye. The first single, "ONE MORE WHISKEY," recently cracked the top 50 on the National triple A radio chart and made it all the way to number 1 in three cities.
Sartori's charismatic stage presence and heart-fealt performances have been packing clubs and college venues night after night. He has developed a loyal legion of fans that have seen him tour in five countries, perform at the NFL Superbowl, Disney World, Mardi Gras, and most recently at the PLAYBOY MANSION in Beverly Hills, CA. He has also shared the stage with artists like Gavin DeGraw, Jewel, Josh Kelley, Meatloaf, Cheap Trick, Jessica Simpson, and Chuck Berry.
Tom has also proven himself to be a force in the acting world, recently hosting the TV show "3 Men and a Chick Flick" which aired on the WE Network. Before TV, Sartori honed his skills on the stage, starring in three different plays in New York and Canada; one of the productions was a one man play called "Billy Bishop Goes to War," in which Tom played over 25 characters, used over 7 different accents, and memorized a 90 page script word for word. He was also nominated for a Best Actor Award at the Buffalo Artie Awards for his performance in the musical adaptation of the play "Peer Gynt."You can check out and join our new "STREET TEAM" group at:

Hello Guys & Gals! It's Tom here.... and I wanted to add a little something to our "music" page. A lot of you have mentioned that it really doesn't let you know anything about me personally, so I'll give this a try....
I grew up in Buffalo, NY. My Mom & Dad still live there, as well as my sister and her wonderful family. As much as I love traveling with my band, I love nothing more than going home for those few days every other month to visit with the fam and eat Momma's sause! (yes, I'm Italian... ). I recently got a place in Orlando, Florida... most of my shows over the past couple years have been in the South East and I have grown to really love the area.
My passion is music (of course), and I like all kinds of it; from jazz standards, to artists like Neil Diamond, Jeff Buckley, Bee Gee's, Nine Inch Nails, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Dave Matthews, Gavin DeGraw, Jude Cole, Journey, and yes... even Barry Manilow. My father is an incredible singer/ guitar player and truly has the most amazing voice I've ever heard... (i can almost hear him saying, "I taught that kid everything he knows!"... which he often likes to say; lol).
Hmmm... what else
Another passion of mine is food!!!!!!!! I'm 5'10, 165lbs. But the way I eat, I should weigh somewhere around 350. I love to cook, when I have the time, and really enjoy eating out at fine restaurants.... Italian, Sushi, French cuisine, Pizza, Cajun Louisiana style cooking, a nice Rib-Eye steak with some crumbled blue cheese on it (damn, I'm getting hungry). I could go on and on....
I love art museums (Dali is one of my favs... Van Gogh is another), going to a ball game (any kind), live concerts, camping, fishing, playing poker, watching movies on a kick-ass system, i love my gadgets... whatever the latest, greatest electronic wonder toy is, I have to have it!! (go iPhone!!). Yes, I own a Mac computer (everyone join me on the dark side; ha ha). I don't stereotype or judge people before I get to know them (some of the meanest looking people have proven to be sweethearts, and I've held the hand of the devil, disguised in angels wings). I hate haters (ha ha), nor do I care to be around negativity or pessimist; I'm definitely a "glass is half full", "tomorrows a new day", "pick yourself up and dust yourself off" kinda guy... I also believe in taking chances, being spontanious, and living everyday like its your last.
Well, thats about all I want to reveal about me for now! Damn, that was exhausting....
I hope you will all check out the new CD, "Long Ride Home." We have worked so hard on it and are very proud of it. The songwriting has come a long way and the production is stellar. It will be available on CDBaby.com and iTunes, to start. If you make it to one of our concerts, make sure to stop by and say hello; we love meeting new people! click here
