Tour
Tom McELvain is a tried-and-true Texas troubadour who has found his soul on the road telling stories and singing his songs. Leaving the Honkey Tonks and Rock and Roll scenes behind, Tom has found his place in the intimate setting of listening rooms, theaters, festivals and backyard parties. Tom’s one man acoustic show will take you through an intimate journey of his life experiences filled with heartache, laughter, unexpected love stories and redemption through his story telling and songs.
Tom’s songwriting has evolved over his 25 plus years in the industry including co-writing the song “Rock and Roll” on the Gold Record “Adobe Sessions” as well as the song “Grey” with Cody Jinks. Country mixed with Rock and Roll Blues best describes Tom’s Americana sound. Tom currently not only writes with other artists but also with the Veterans through the project Operation Song®. For more information on Operation Song or how to help by “Bringing them back one song at a time” please visit www.OperationSong.org.
Tom has a “Plan B” project that he partnered with Kind Brother Genetics called “Space Cowboy” that released April 2024. Space Cowboy consist of a radio single about mental health and a tailored strain of cannabis both named “Space Cowboy”. Tom is currently seeking cannabis friendly venues to bring this show he has put together that has been influenced by the flower. This is a new platform, but one Tom is passionate about since he quit alcohol and amphetamines with the help of cannabis.
I found a place that eases my wondering blues messing with these damn Donkeys and planting fence posts. We had some fun with the name Donkey Town and you guys jumped in with pics and jokes...we had so much fun we decided to start working on the land to be a Donkey Rescue Ranch. We will be building a store to sell merch for food, supplies and health care.
“Tonight I’m on my own” the lost whiskey tapes marks Tom’s solo artist debut on Sol Records. Digitally released November of 2020 the lost whiskey tapes did in fact get lost in the turmoil of a pandemic, back logged manufacturing, and a postponed year bookended with cancelled shows and last ditch live streams. We’re proud to properly present The Lost Whiskey Tapes from Tom McElvain on CD and possibly vinyl (covid/international diplomacy/shipping/earthquakes permitting) Apr 30th 2021.
We’re happy to announce that we will be hosting a live performance and recording of a new live album coming this February 5th. The recording will take place at The Millhouse in Garland, TX. All seating is by reservation only and will be per table to be compliant with health ordinances. I am looking forward to playing for you all and capturing this moment in a brand new release for 2021.
