The
poetry blends with the musicians present - not exactly free form but
free
flowing...............................................................................

Now bi-coastal Tim spends half his time in Boston, managing the
bookings for Club Passim (no don't ask for a gig here) and working with
the very hip web based business platform for professional independent
musicians, Nimbit (check it out in the "Top 8") and trying to keep up
with his teenage daughter Ruby. (who just happens to be the coolest kid
on the
planet)........................................................................................................................................................................................
The balance of his time is spent in the East Bay getting to know the
West Coast scene and working with Shannon Flattery on her innovative
community buliding arts and oral history project TOUCHABLE STORIES, now
associated with UC Berkeley and based in Richmond CA, visit
www.touchablestories.org for the scoop on this. Its very cool
....................................................................................

Whichever coast he hangs his hat on the poetry is what keeps it
together.
About Tom Begich
http://www.myspace.com/tombegich
"It's
the words that tell the story." That is Tom Begich. The bohemian son of
a family steeped in Alaska politics and the product of a life of music,
Tom's music resonates with stories and the conflicts of the human
condition.
Part of the Alaska music scene in the early 1980's,
Tom dropped out and tuned in to the world of politics and business for
a decade before finding his way back to local coffee shops, street
corners, and music festivals. Since returning to performing and
recording, Tom has opened for recording artists Stephen Fearing, Don
Morrell, Paul Geremia, and Kim Richey. Tom also hosted a monthly
Songwriter's Showcase in his hometown of Anchorage for three years and
has performed live on numerous radio stations and on the nationally
syndicated radio show "West Coast Live" (October 1999).
Tom has
released four CDs, "Such a World" in 1997, "Hotel Metropol" in 1999,
and "Albuquerque Road" in 2001. His latest CD, "Cool Blue Light", was
released November 20, 2004 and has already garnered favorable reviews.
Tom
continues to play in Alaska and small venues throughout the country.
Citing musicians as different as Taj Mahal, Harry Chapin, and
Christopher Parkening as influences, Tom combines an easy picking style
with blues rhythms and storytelling skill to create a musical montage
that is always interesting to the ear. His music includes a
wide-variety of music ranging from acoustic instrumentals to blues and
folk rock. A musician with a wholly original sound, Tom Begich will
keep you humming for more long after he's done.
