I'm a singer songwriter, I've been singing since I was born. I started to play guitar at 16 and composed my first songs. I'm from Bologna, Italy, but I lived several years in Los Angeles. I have  CD out, with great collaborations from the Al Stewart's team! I love and breath music. Music is not only my job, but mainly the air I breath... I keep on creating my songs and collaborating with other musicians. 

I write songs for my family. All of my recordings require producing and perhaps collaboration.  I basically record just to capture ideas or thoughts; good bad or indifferent.

I only post original work written by me or collaborative projects,

Music is my life's blood, (along with beer and cigarettes) and I am loving the fact that when I wake up everyday I have the opportunity to make music through Propellerhead's Reason (currently version 10.4 with Rack Extensions, and VST's).  While I am painfully aware that it is not (yet) commercial quality, I do feel it is at least listenable enough to spark a conversation or possibly an idea in someone's head who is far more proficient than I.  As I aspire toward musical greatness, I will continue to post my growth, and hopefully (someday) someone will find a piece they like enough to take the ball and run with it.  In the meantime, sit back, relax, lite up, grab a cold one and enjoy !!!

My name is Bruce and this is a solo project. It's a Mix of original songs & some Remix / play alongs, that I have  written and or recorded with Cakewalk Sonar X2 by me. More songs to come. 
 I've played guitar & keyboards on & off since I was 15.
In the last 2 years I've been working with Cakewalk Sonar and trying to get back into it.
 My POD HD 500 is also a great Mix to the Pudding !

Please review my music!  Thanks !


I am not a musician and make no pretense of being one.  I realized years ago that I was devoid of the talent needed to make good music and I am truly impressed by those of you who do have talent.  I have no aspirations of making a big deal with a record company or becoming a performing artist.  There is, however something that makes me want to make music and sing songs.  These tracks are made for the sole purpose of fulfilling some strange self-satisfaction urge.  If you like them then this is an unexpected side-effect and I am humbled by your appreciation.

TOM ABDOW is an American Folk Rock singer and songwriter, born and raised in New England in the United States of America.  His interest in music began as a young child, though he never had any formal music training. This self-taught singer and songwriter enrolled in what he calls "The College of Musical Knowledge" (after a song lyric he heard) and began his "studies" by listening to every kind of music that was played on the burgeoning FM radio stations (and earlier the AM radio in the 4th Grade during the Beatles Invasion) all throughout the 60's and 70's, singing along, "managing" groups locally and learning to beat a mean drum on his best friend's Ludwig's during High School. He then rapidly progressed to singing, entered talent shows backed by excellently talented good friends, and sometimes won first place. Later, with his last paycheck from a retail sales position which was a "no where" gig, he bought his first acoustic guitar.  More concerned with the looks of the "guit-box" he struggled with its unbelievable high action and propensity for always being out of tune, and learned to sing and play some of the best folk of the 60's and 70's.  He "graduated" into live performing at coffeehouses, niteclubs and festivals while serving in the United States Coast Guard and played such memorable venues as The Cape Island Festival of Folk Music & Crafts the Carroll Villa Coffeehouse in Cape May NJ, The Mountain Top Inn near Killington Mountain VT,  The WIldcat Inn and Tavern in the Mt. Washington, NH valley area and the well know, well loved and now greatly missed RUSTY NAIL INN in Sunderland, MA.  He also performed "openers" for then touring and national recording artists Jonathan Edwards, Aztec Two-Step, Steve Forbert and Vassar Clements, with larger outdoor shows throughout New England, including some produced by Norm Lafoe, and the Springfield Mayor's Office of Cultural and Community Affairs. He appeared on local cable television Arts and Entertainment features like "Folklore" produced by Carl Montefusco originating in  Longmeadow, MA and "Out and About" on the regional Public Television affiliate, Channel 57.  His current endeavors include singing and songwriting, but finally getting ready to record some serious original music, hopefully jump into touring coffeehouses and festivals, and generally making "a lot of good noises".   Tom Abdow has been described by fellow musicians as "A man with a guitar and stories to tell" and the "kind of guy who could sell you the shirt off your own back, but is more likely to give you the shirt off of his".   Please take a listen, and look for "Tom Abdow Singer and Songwriter" or "Tom Abdow Concerts" in your next "google" or other search and check back as time allows for upcoming new posts of originals in the making and covers you may know.  Thanking you in advance for taking your time to read this and maybe listen to a tune or two.  By the way, if you like anything here or on my "facebook" page, please "like" or "follow" me on Facebook, here on Soundcloud and YouTube.  Hope to see you somewhere down this life's road...may peace always find you and yours.
