Tom Fisch Music, Flat Rock, NC
Born and raised in Albany, New York, Tom won his first guitar in a raffle at a school bazaar when he was ten years old. That set the path for a life long musical journey.
Tom says, “As the years went by, I found myself getting into singers and players like Doc Watson, James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, Tony Rice, the Byrds, and traditional folk and country artists. My playing and writing were also greatly influenced by singer/ songwriters such as Dave Mallett, John Prine, Steve Goodman, and Jonathan Edwards.”
After years of entertaining audiences throughout the Northeast at colleges, clubs, coffeehouses, festivals and fairs, Tom moved to Nashville, TN in 1991 to further his songwriting career. While working as a demo singer and studio musician he formed his own publishing company, Tom Fisch Music. His songs have been recorded by a number of artists, including the Oak Ridge Boys, Swiss country singer Erica Arnold and children’s performer Lisa Atkinson.
In 2004, Tom relocated to Western North Carolina and it’s thriving acoustic music scene. With the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains for inspiration, Tom and his music found a comfortable place to call home.
Whether Tom is performing for a large audience in an auditorium, outdoors at a festival, or in front of a small crowd in an intimate listening room, his audiences are taken with the stellar musicianship and warm, engaging personality he brings to the stage. Tom’s shows feature his own outstanding songwriting as well as songs from some of his favorite artists and songwriters.
