The long-awaited return of the Thumping Tommys...
Formed in north London in 2012, UK-based folk band The Thumping Tommys have been wowing audiences ever since with their heady brew of barn-storming, blues-infused Irish, American and English folk music. Known for their original compositions as well as unique cover versions of an eclectic mix of songs from the folk & blues canon, The Thumping Tommys have made their mark on the club and festival circuit all over Europe.
Veterans of festivals such as Fairport's Cropredy Convention, The Thumping Tommys have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in folk, such as Fairport Convention, Clannad, The Fisherman's Friends and Show of Hands, and have supported artists such as Bryan Adams.
Now in their third incarnation, The Thumping Tommys are soon to release their second studio album of original music, 'The Sharp Turns of Life' - out this summer!
Their mix of lively barn-dancing bluegrass, passionate folk ballads, heartfelt original compositions steeped in the blues tradition and unique interpretations of popular songs make them sought after all across Europe.

As Daniel Hill of the Riverfront Times puts it, "Gusman has a knack for writing songs that are instantly memorable and relatable." Nick Gusman is true-grit Americana and he is poised to leave an indelible mark on the alt-country landscape.
