Minnesota native Tom Feldmann taught himself to play guitar at age 17 after hearing the recordings of the pioneers of acoustic blues and states, "John Lee Hooker taught me how to strum and Muddy Waters taught me how to slide." His debut solo album was released in 1999 and Tom has since spent the years writing, touring and recording his own original gospel compositions as well as carrying on the tradition of solo acoustic blues.

Tom has recenlty recorded several DVD lessons for Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop and is touring in support of Tribute, his latest CD which pays homage to the gospel sides of Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, Blind Willie Johnson and many other acoustic blues legends.

"Tom Feldmann's tone is usually gritty and lowdown, but also can soar and sound almost angelic."
-- Vintage Guitar Magazine
