Bio: I'm all about power guitar pop with blues and jazz influences sometimes thrown into the soup...and a sprinkling of bubblegum songs! Add in a few odd instrumental pieces here and there and that about sums it up. Hot doggies!

Moved up the playlist: An Earthly Love Not Understood. Just because.

Press

“In reviewing Tom Hedrick's earlier album "As If", I touted his geek rock combination of unique lyrics and subjects with joyous rock rhythms. With "Red Giant", the geek rocker advances to head rocker with introspective lyric writing and cuts that are better termed "compositions" than tunes. "Fire In The Lab" for example, moves dramatically from moody orchestral passages to jazz ensemble to a searing lead guitar break. Then jump to "Song For Joe", with driving rock chords and vocal attitude reminiscent of the great Del Shannon. Very eclectic, electric and delightfully eccentric album!”
