Describing himself as "a bluesy rock 'n' roll artist with some country twang", Tom McCartney is a young, up and coming blues, country and rock 'n' roll artist from Nottinghamshire, UK. Along with his recently formed backing band he hosts a set comprising originals and covers, acoustic and electric, upbeat and down tempo. You would be forgiven for mistaking him for a much older man - his deep, husky voice tells tales way beyond his 18 year age and his music reflects the struggles and pleasures his life has already brought upon him. He writes and performs his own original material with influences from Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Johnny Cash, Elmore James, Junior Wells, Noel Gallagher and Jake Bugg. With a lot of life to live - and still much to learn - Tom looks to be well on his way . . and will hopefully be bringing the next generation of blues-lovers with him. Tom McCartney is an 18 year old Blues/Country artist from Nottingham, England. He is young, aspiring and has high hopes for his future in the music industry.
