due to the costs for recording and
putting a record together. Thankfully, he happened to stumble
upon a wonderful way to record
for free.
“Songs From the Escape” was literally recorded in his Ford Escape.
He was living with his girlfriend
in an apartment building at the
time. He needed to practice for
an upcoming gig, but couldn’t
play guitar in his apartment without disturbing the neighbors so
he decided to sit in his car. Tommy planned on recording his prac-
tice session and listen to it when
he headed back inside. What he
heard on the recording surprised
him.
“After listening to it, I couldn’t
help but notice that the recording sounded really good,” he recalled. “I decided right then and
there that I was going to make
an acoustic album in my car. After some procrastination, I finally
started the project on July 4th
2013, after sharing the idea at a
coffee meeting with Jerzy Jung. It
was finished just over a year later.”
