Singer/songwriter/guitarist Tom Feldmann may have been musically weaned on the dirty, back-woods moans and hollers of blues legends like Son House, Mississippi Fred McDowell, and John Lee Hooker, but over the years the inventive young man delved into a plethora of styles, including folk, soul, country, Americana, and gospel - a practice that eventually helped inform the confident, driven performer he is today. Carrying on in the raucous gospel twang tradition of The Louvin Brothers, Gram Parsons, and Uncle Tupelo, Tom Feldmann & The Get-Rites (Feldmann on vocals and his infamous resonator guitar, long-time Ben Weaver/Jack Norton side-man Paul Liebenow on upright bass, and drummer Jed Staack) present a fresh, inspirational batch of country-blues-tinged material that melds, molds, and mixes all of those various influences with their own inimitable flair for lyrical intelligence, musical complexity, and soulful experimentation.
Throughout the years Tom has opened shows for such artists as; BR5-49, David Lindley, .... Sons of Johnny Cash, Kraig Johnson (the Jayhawks), Dan Bern, "Catfish" Keith, John Munson (Semi Sonic), Steve James, Ellis Paul, Jimmy LaFave, Michael Fracasso and many others.
