SLEEPY TOM

Bio

Tom Forsythe, AKA Sleepy Tom, Blues and roots singer/songwriter/guitarist. Designer/Owner, Archetype Graphic Design & Writing Services and SmallDogLaughing.

I've been living and playing music in the Triangle for over 30 years. I play mostly blues along with a few originals and covers by artists like Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. Over the years, I have played with blues artists, Big Boy Henry and New Orleans street singer, Slewfoot. I have also recorded with multi-instrumentalist, Kirk Charles Heydt, AKA Tin Whiskers.

I perform solo as a one man band. For some of the electric Chicago style blues I add drums using a floor tom and snare with foot pedals. For funkier songs, I also add bass and drums using a Digitech Trio "Band in a box” pedal.
