Tom will be joined this time by his wife Lynn Waldron, who has been co-writing and performing with Tom theatrically and musically for a decade. She's known for her onstage playfulness, wit, and beautiful harmonies as she weaves the fabric of people’s stories. She travels with Tom when she can slip away from her work as a software writer and trainer. At home, she sings in a hospice group called the Eventide Singers, serving those who are critically ill and/or in transition.

People are still talking about Tom's performance, which brought just the right balance of biting political commentary, humor, personal storytelling, and memorable music to our house concert. His songs, his voice, and his guitar wrapped it all up into one great package. -- Vicki Ryder, South Florida Raging Grannies
