“Bentz band to perform 2 local shows; The group will showcase both a rock and acoustic show. The Tommy Bentz Band is both intimate and in-your-face. To be able to play an acoustic show and a rock show back to back separates the band from a lot of other bands. The group will bring its acoustic show to Miguel's Coffee Bar on April 23, backed by a full-blown rock 'n' roll show on April 24 at The Busted Lift.”

“After Intermission, it was back inside to listen to singer/songwriter Tommy Bentz, who electrified the house with 3 numbers from his solo CDs, including one song not yet released...I then brought Tommy back out to help me with the last 2 songs, 'Again' and, of course, 'Tomorrow's Child'. Afterwards, Christine Pulkrabek (from Gillette) and I were presented with a check for $550 from my good friend Dylan Jorgenson (www.caringbridge.org/mi/dylanjorgenson/) and his family. They had rasied the money on behalf of Tomorrow's Child.”

“Originally from Alma, WI, Tommy Bentz is a multi-instrumentalist who has performed and composed several album projects, commercials and recording sessions. In addition to owning and operating Brickhouse Music in River Falls, WI, (as well as a store in Eau Claire, WI) Bentz has recorded two albums of original music with his band, and has performed and shared the stage with the Temptations, Rufus Reid, Clark Terry, David Baker, Ira Sullivan, Willy Porter, Tim Mahoney and the Pat McGee Band. The band has recently finished a third album "Point of View", featuring some of the newer tunes from their live shows and showcasing their tightly focused jams and diverse songwriting ability. Some people have said some really nice things about the Tommy Bentz band: "Tommy, in my opinion, is one of the area's premiere guitar players - his lead and style and presence is unique and amazing." - Joe Gunderson, in charge of booking and promotions for The House of Rock, Eau Claire, WI”

“Every Kind of Blue is the third release for Tommy Bentz, an album written with a feel-good vibe, but with accessible lyrics that mean something more than your typical "boy meets girl" popular music. Tommy Bentz is comprised of a power trio, with keys playing the fourth member on many an occasion - the band's backbone includes a jazzy blues mentality infused with an intelligent southern jam rock sentiment. True musicianship echoes throughout the tracks from the thoughtful, introspective "Always on The Road" to the uplifting, hit-me-over-the-head with your insight "Floodgates". From the young guitarist looking for a new rock idol to the Gov't Mule fan searching for new slide guitar prowess, Every Kind of Blue is sure to reveal, tempt, appeal & appease...most importantly it will inspire.”

“Tommy Bentz Band The Tommy Bentz band is a tight power trio, with a distinct sound considerably like a blend of Allman Brothers, Van Morrison and Elvis Costello. Tommy is a singer/songwriter with a mature blues/rock edge.”
