Tommy B Debuts Six-Track EP "B1"
By: Jessica Hegel Milwaukee, WI (Vocal) 05/10/2023 - Folk Rock artist and multi-instrumentalist Tommy B is excited to share his debut EP with the world. Tommy B was born and raised in a small town in Bristol County, Massachusetts where his interest in music began at the age of seven years old. Growing up in a musical family where his dad performed all throughout the state of Massachusetts definitely helped spark his interest in the industry and passion for music as a whole. After graduating college with a degree in Business Management, Tommy B packed up his things and moved to Pennsylvania in 2014. While in Pennsylvania, one of his goals was to further his music career, and that is exactly what he is doing. While he moved to Pennsylvania in 2014, his music career did not truly begin until the year 2021 when he booked his first public solo show. Ever since then, Tommy B has been performing over 100 shows each year throughout the East Coast and beyond.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Once a month on Friday nights, your middle school hosts a dance in the school gym. You wear as much makeup and as little clothing as your mom will let you get away with, shedding layers and borrowing lipstick in the girl's bathroom once you get there. Your dad ruins your life by volunteering to chaperone every single dance.
A Soundtrack To Life
If life is like a movie, then you have to have a soundtrack, right? It wouldn't make sense for life to not have a playlist of tracks that not only help spell out your life through music, but also give a sense to others about how it felt to be in that moment (or moments). This might be a playlist, but like any great one, it won't fully encapsulate what it is that its trying to evoke in terms of emotion. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever fully capture how life is. But, you gotta give it a try, and just like life, you gotta go with the flow. So here's the playlist (in no particular order). There's a description next to the song to show what it invoked or captured in me during those specific moments and segments in time in my life. Some of these tracks don't have lyrics, as they would be included in a film soundtrack. And, some of these songs are not in English. Like in life, sometimes you don't need to fully understand or have words to really make you feel. Here's the playlist:

From the Old Days to Tomorrow
My earliest memories of music nearly all take place in the backseat of my family's old minivan. It was pretty much the only place I could listen to music at the time. Sure, I had a CD player at home, but I didn't exactly have CDs to play in it. The radio in our car was where I got to hear all my favorites and any new songs that Radio Disney was playing. I still remember the first time I heard Taylor Swift's "Teardrops On My Guitar" on Radio Disney back in 2006 (maybe 2007, now I'm not so sure). It was in our van, of course, and then the entire week or so after, that song was all Radio Disney would play. I knew it by heart by the third go around.
