About Me

Tom Loud was born about 10,000 years ago. Drafted in the Punic Wars, he was later thrown out of both sides during the War Between the States. Sings true versions of Irish Ballads, Cowboy Ballads and Post-Modern Dys-functional Relationship Ballads in seedy bayou dives in Houston. Both his songs and subversive pamphlettes draw praise and the ire of Respectable Citizens. His wife, the Classisist, is way cooler than one whould suppose.Rates in Houston Area Solo $50 first hr/ $25 additional hr w/ Band $100 first hr/ $50 additional hr FREE FREE Copy "Revealed At Last!"
