SUMMARY:Music In the Library: Tom Pirozzoli
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the New Books area for music with Tom 
 Pirozzoli!\n\n\n\nFor more than thirty years Tom’s simple path has been a 
 life rich in music\, art and travel\, yielding a career filled with nine 
 studio albums\, numerous songwriting credits\, and collaborations with 
 other artists such as Willy Porter\, Joyce Andersen and David Wilcox.  
 \n\nTom’s sophisticated guitar work forms the rich backdrop for his warm 
 tenor that delivers melodies and lyrics exploring the full range of the 
 human and global experience.  \n\nA self-taught guitarist and painter\, 
 Tom’s music found it’s way into New England coffeehouses and street 
 corners at the age of 19. The sense of endless possibility and adventure of 
 the 1970s lead to travels – initially through Europe and South America\, 
 later to India and Southeast Asia\, then eventually to China and Tibet. His 
 encounters with such an array of people\, cultures\, and ideas\, have 
 contributed to and enriched both his painting\, music and lyrical content.  
 \n\nTom was named a winner in MUSICIAN magazine’s Best Unsigned Band 
 Contest\, resulting in a national Warner Bros. Records release. His 
 subsequent album “Travels” (Great Northern Arts) spent 13 weeks in the 
 AAA Charts top 40 albums. Several of his original recordings also reside in 
 the Smithsonian Folkways Collection via Fast Folk Musical Magazine. \n\nIn 
 addition to presenting art exhibits\, Tom toured internationally—working 
 with artists such as Greg Brown\, Jesse Winchester\, and Doc Watson. Tom 
 also began performing and collaborating with Milwaukee- based guitarist 
 Willy Porter\, co-writing many songs that have been featured on Porter’s 
 albums\, including “Try to Forget” and the title song on Willy’s 
 Human Kindness record. L.J. Booth and John Gorka have used Tom’s 
 paintings as CD covers. \n\n\n\nThis performances is free and open to all 
 and does not require registration.
