Songwriting
Sorry for the long blog drought, but I'm back! I've been spending most of my time working on new material, not only for myself, but to pitch to major label artists. I'll be spending about a week each month this year in Nashville, Tennessee making connections and looking for any opportunities that are available to me.
I took my first trip down there just over two weeks ago at the end of January. I got a good feel for the city, got the lay of the land, and know what places to frequent when I have some extra time. My next trek down to Music City begins on February 21. I can't wait to get back down there and show the world some new Tom Maxwell songs. There will definitely be more info and stories about Nashville as I spend more time there. Stay tuned! Where I'm At and Where I'll Be

The Lion & Bull is a great venue that I hope to fill time and time again. Thanks to Andy Hamburger on drums, Holly Montgomery on bass and vocals, and Dan James on guitar and vocals for taking the stage with me and performing at their best. I read a lot of material about how to throw a CD release and what formats …
Me, But Not Me
My debut album "Somebody" recently saw digital distribution and is now all over the internet. The distributor is CD Baby.com, a company that makes it possible for independent artists like me to have their music placed at major online retailers, gain exposure, and sell more albums than otherwise possible. When an artist is added to a service like Spotify or iTunes, a biography, list of similar artists, stuff like that is added as well, to let the world know something about the person behind the …
From Sweet Tea to CD
The last 10 months have been the busiest, most exciting, and are about to be the most rewarding of my professional life. In just one week, "Somebody" will be available and my first real shot at making it will be taken. So much goes into making an album that was completely unknown to me before I did it. All of the studio techniques and tricks, mixing, mastering, being a part of it all was sort of like pulling back the curtain and seeing the truth, but the truth was even more incredible …
