Like Steve Earle, TOM SLESS displays bracing honesty in his songwriting, and like Jason Isbell, Sless has a knack for creating a world in which our souls struggle to define themselves. With ceaseless creativity, an ear for the just-right melody and lyric, and with a passion for song, the singer, songwriter, and guitar slinger writes songs and produces music that evoke his disappointments, hopes, joys, and loves. With a vibe that alternates between the celebratory country rock of Luke Combs, the nod-and-a-wink humor of Sturgill Simpson, and the rough-hewn folksiness of Donovan Woods, Sless carries us along with him on a soulful ride down the winding roads of life and love on his first album, California Dream.
