Biografie

Deutsch

Seit über 20 Jahren hat sich der Singer/Songwriter Tom Corbett dem Blue Grass, New Grass und Americana verschrieben. Als Gitarrist und Mandolinist war er schon für einige Gößen der Folkmusikszene (u.a. The Acousticats, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Mike Ness, Jennifer Warnes) sowohl live als auch im Studio tätig. Doch er ist nicht nur ein gefragter Gastmusiker: Bisher hat Tom Corbett drei Soloalben veröffentlicht. Seine Songs wurden in Peter Spirer’s Film „Dunsmore“ integriert und das aktuelle Album „Tonight I Ride“ (2011) hielt sich mehrere Wochen in den Top 10 der Euro-Americana Charts. Mit seiner Band, „The Tom Corbett Band“ bespielt er Konzerte und Festivals in der ganzen Welt – von Amerika bis Spanien, Irland und England, Frankreich, Skandinavien und Japan. Im Gepäck hat er neben seiner Musik viele Geschichten, die er auf der Bühne gern mit schwarzem Humor und einem kleinen Augenzwinkern zum Besten gibt.
