A dyslexic left-handed keyboard player who used to play the tuba, Georgia artist Tom Rule is a bit of an odd duck! Yes, he's been known to rip off some killer riffs with the Joey Stuckey band, but he is also Classically trained with degrees in Piano Performance. Tom's music ranges from Classical and Jazz to Rock, Country, New Age, Electronica and more. With credits on more than a dozen albums including Grammy nominees, Tom is simply as eclectic as they come, with music that is always interesting, never boring, and definitely not derivative.
