Who Is This Guy and What Does He Do??
To much of the outside world, I am an entertainer/singer/guitarist who performs nightly (Wednesday through Monday) at Woody's Waterfront restaurant in Saint Pete Beach, Florida. I've been a full time entertainer for most of my adult life (Since St Patricks Day, 1988 to be exact). See BIO section for a history. I also gig part time in my hometowns in northeastern Pennsylvania (Pocono and Pottsville areas). My act is comprised of mostly of vocals/guitar, using professional, self-created backing tracks of drums/bass/sometimes piano/strings/organs, etc,. More on this setup in the MY SETUP section.
I perform classic primarily AM radio pop/rock hits, mostly from the 60's and 70's, with a few 50's, 80's, or 90's when appropriate. I will also throw in a few country songs (Johnny Cash, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Brooks and Dunn). My theme is sort of "happy rock" that you can sing along with, or even associate a certain time or your life with. Click on MY SET LIST for an incomplete, but representative, song list.
Can We Hire Tom For Our Event?
Yes, you may. I just need at least a couple of weeks notice and of course, an enticing wage. I am available to play in Western-Central Florida or eastern Pennsylvania. I can usually arrange to have other entertainment take over my gig at Woody's for the evening. Travel expenses will be taken into account when you are quoted a rate. I perform a three or four hour set, and will provide background music during any breaks. I use high quality sound equipment, such as BOSE, and keep volumes appropriate for the venue. As my friend DannyB says, "I don't know of anyone who leaves because it's not loud enough". THE MUSIC IS NOT ALL THAT MATTERS TO MY CLIENTS - My act is VERY family-friendly. I never use vulgar language or rely on dirty song parodies. A keen and clean SEINFELDIAN sense of humor is included with the performance at no extra cost. I give kids souvenir www.tomdavis.com guitar pics. I'm much a philanthropist in my performance (up until the time I collect the cash .....) I've never used used drugs or smoked ANYTHING, I very rarely drink alcohol, and conduct myself with %100 professionalism.
