Tom Clukey at the Side Door

Singer-songwriter and Saco resident, Tom Clukey, is originally from the small town of St. Albans. He was introduced to music at an early age and played in the school band in elementary school through college.

About a decade ago, Clukey won a karaoke contest at Spare Time Entertainment in Portland. “I never fancied myself a singer,” but the win sparked a confidence and a new interest in singing, and with the prize money he purchased a guitar.

He started performing in local venues, and then a few years ago decided to take making music more seriously and began writing songs. As the winner of the Wildwood Studio Songwriting Contest, he was awarded $500 in studio time, and as the winner of The Studio Portland Singer/Songwriter Contest he was awarded a live recording session.

His style is rooted in country and folk, with relatable lyrics that reflect working through the struggles and challenges of everyday life. Among his musical influences are Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers and John Denver.
