"The very edgy Tom Bianchi"

Boston Magazine

Tom has cut his teeth on the streets and in the subways of Boston, MA. In order to make a living "busking" (playing for tips on the streets), Tom has developed light-hearted and fun free style skills that include everyone around him. Therefore, every show is unique within itself which is why Tom tends to release live performances to CD rather than studio recordings. He also has a host of stories about his experiences and some ballads that can bring you to tears. His many years of experience have taught him how to play just about any room. Tom has played coffee houses, bars, hatch shells, living rooms, birthday parties, house concerts, even a canadian shriners convention. Currently, Tom is either touring, or playing local shows in Boston and supporting his music scene by running a weekly singer/songwriter series and hosting a weekly open mic. Also, Tom has been a part of the prestigious Faneuil Hall Street Performers Program in Boston, MA for 5 years, a position that you must audition for every year. What People Say Randomly catching Tom in action prompted this Boston Phoenix writer to say, "The guy is funny, and he's singing about exactly what's happening to all of us right this second". In a live review, Sound Check Magazine wrote "As the crowd danced, sang, and shouted, Tom riffs and ripples through stories and songs, ballads and funky one-man jams, personal greetings and other on-the-spot lyric changes, doing all he could to make his audience feel at home."
