Tom Cooper

Tom Cooper's musical influences are numerous and varied. Drawing inspiration from elements of soul and blues, Leonard Cohen and Jimmy Webb, Lennon and McCartney, to his classic country vocal stylings, likened to Johnny Cash and George Jones.

With a love for music and a lifetime of work, it was time to start over. ?

Tom Cooper has always made music. In the earlier part of his life, he played with bands and by himself, traveling from Ohio to California and everywhere in between. But when the dream of living from music alone fizzled, he didn’t quit. For most of his life, he has been building a collection of songs written at night at bars or while sitting at the cafe in Paris while he spent his days behind a desk. Music has always been his passion but the course of his life took him elsewhere.

The passing of the love of his life lit the fire necessary to put Tom on the path he was always meant to take; to pick up his guitar again, dust off a lifetime of songs and commit to sharing his music with the world. A new dream was born! In no time, he made his way to the recording studio and began to tour the northern Virginia area.??

Tom's music is shaped by the artists of his past experiences and a vision of his future. His voice resonates with the pains and sorrows of life, but also the joys. The real draw of his songwriting is that Tom does not dwell on the negative; he has a wonderful sense of humor about love that gives a hopeful perspective to the hopelessness of heartache.
