Tom Letson is a musician and visual artist who’s been hurlin’ songs into the vast expanse for over 10 years. Early on, he felt a humble calling to follow in the footsteps of musical pioneer Woody Guthrie, setting off to each crack and crevice of the United States by freight train & thumb. Seeking refuge under bridges and sleeping beside highways, he considers it a pleasant surprise to have made it this long. He eventually landed up in Alaska, where he spent the better part of his 20s living remotely, and continues splitting his seasons there. This alternative lifestyle is a key ingredient behind the inspiration of his songwriting. After grinding his teeth as a buskin’ hobo, he worked his way up to perform at various bars, venues, and festivals across North America through skillful songwriting, fingerpicking, slide guitar, and clawhammer banjo. He is an outsider artist whose unique lifestyle contributes to his creative storytelling. With that, there is a raw honesty rooted in his work that manages to attract listeners wherever he roams & rambles.
