Tommy Crawford

My music weaves americana and roots of all kinds - traditional folk, neo-folk, rock n roll, blues, country, jazz, bluegrass, and more. I hope my tunes, from the silly to the gut-punching, surprise you and move you. As a composer I write music for plays, musicals, and more. I’m very interested in experimental musicals that push the boundaries of form and blend concert performance and theatrical storytelling.

“From the title track to songs such as "Shenandoah Valley," Crawford's tunes dwell on finding peace in nature…Crawford is an engaging songwriter and a talented multi-instrumentalist, and both are evident in abundance on Athena and the Moon.”
- Chris Farnsworth, Seven Days VT

“Tommy Crawford has managed to create a song…that is both instantly accessible and brilliantly elemental at the same time…Seductive, simple and simply gorgeous.” (“Mountain Song”)
— Dave Franklin, The Big Takeover music mag

“Composer Tommy Crawford supplies arresting music, as moody and unpredictable as the story.” (Heisenberg at Northern Stage)
- Seven Days VT

“Making Our Way” from Cry Eden, recorded with Pierre Andre-Rigoll at Analogue Muse, NYC.

“…'Sing Me Silence, SeaWife,' is the most haunting of the show. Starting with a simple, lovely melody, it moves through rich chord changes and swells with stunning harmonies. This piece reflects the aesthetics of The Lobbyists at their very best, and I know of few other groups today who can match their range of expression.”
— Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror
