Kingston, Ontario singer/songwriter Tom Savage delivers some heart-on-his-sleeve acoustic goodness with his latest solo effort. “Don’t Plan On Starting Now” holds the singer’s rough around the edges but painfully smooth voice hostage over a slow groove, while “Rougher On Me” is a delicate ditty filled with pop culture references. “Mercy Killing” gets a little tougher than the rest, while “A Brief Moment Of Eternity” will win over fans of The Band. Closer “The Slow Decline” builds and eats at your guts, worthy of soundtracking your downfall in a dive country bar six miles past nowhere. But, you know, it’s hopeful too.

Burnt By The Sun

The wrong side of town, endless roads traveled, longing for home, and the hope for love. These are the themes that find their way into much of Tom Savage’s songwriting.

Tom has devoted the past twenty years to the creation of songs. Waiting for them to come to him or dragging them out of the ether kicking and screaming. Letting them linger on the edges of his psyche until they are just right, or scribbling them down on the page with reckless abandon. Ten minutes from the seed of an idea to a finished product. Every song is different and is meant to serve a purpose and tell a story.

A prolific writer, Tom has released 6 recordings of original music and penned hundreds of songs. In 2012, he challenged himself to write, record, and post online, a song for every week of the year. Dubbed the Song-A-Week Challenge, the project allowed people a unique glimpse into the songwriting process and left Savage with a new, workmanlike approach to songwriting.
