The poetry blends with the musicians present - not exactly free form but free flowing............................................................................... ..............................................................................................
.................. Now bi-coastal Tim spends half his time in Boston, managing the bookings for Club Passim (no don't ask for a gig here) and working with the very hip web based business platform for professional independent musicians, Nimbit (check it out in the "Top 8") and trying to keep up with his teenage daughter Ruby. (who just happens to be the coolest kid on the planet)........................................................................................................................................................................................ The balance of his time is spent in the East Bay getting to know the West Coast scene and working with Shannon Flattery on her innovative community buliding arts and oral history project TOUCHABLE STORIES, now associated with UC Berkeley and based in Richmond CA, visit www.touchablestories.org for the scoop on this. Its very cool .................................................................................... .................................................................................................................. Whichever coast he hangs his hat on the poetry is what keeps it together.
About Tom Begich
http://www.myspace.com/tombegich
"It's the words that tell the story." That is Tom Begich. The bohemian son of a family steeped in Alaska politics and the product of a life of music, Tom's music resonates with stories and the conflicts of the human condition.
Part of the Alaska music scene in the early 1980's, Tom dropped out and tuned in to the world of politics and business for a decade before finding his way back to local coffee shops, street corners, and music festivals. Since returning to performing and recording, Tom has opened for recording artists Stephen Fearing, Don Morrell, Paul Geremia, and Kim Richey. Tom also hosted a monthly Songwriter's Showcase in his hometown of Anchorage for three years and has performed live on numerous radio stations and on the nationally syndicated radio show "West Coast Live" (October 1999).
Tom has released four CDs, "Such a World" in 1997, "Hotel Metropol" in 1999, and "Albuquerque Road" in 2001. His latest CD, "Cool Blue Light", was released November 20, 2004 and has already garnered favorable reviews.
Tom continues to play in Alaska and small venues throughout the country. Citing musicians as different as Taj Mahal, Harry Chapin, and Christopher Parkening as influences, Tom combines an easy picking style with blues rhythms and storytelling skill to create a musical montage that is always interesting to the ear. His music includes a wide-variety of music ranging from acoustic instrumentals to blues and folk rock. A musician with a wholly original sound, Tom Begich will keep you humming for more long after he's done.
