Every event can be Special

Our goal is to provide a relaxing musical environment at conversation levels so the listener can enjoy a fine wine, great meal or the company they are with.

We can provide the background for wine tastings, Martini ,Margarita introductions and beer tappings.

We wish to present a live music atmosphere for the times a full band is not feasible. This can be a outdoor patio or Beer Garden at a restaurant in the summer to a Holiday Party in December. Corporate events, Cocktail Party, Private Dinner, BBQ or Wedding. We can make it special.

Bio

Born and raised on the Southside of Chicago listening and searching for the roots of early rock Tom discovered the heartbeat was in the soulful sounds of the Blues and Jazz. Music and guitar lessons began. During High School playing in bands and performing at high school dances and teen clubs introduced many genres of music.

After surviving High School Uncle Sam called and a few years in the Army interrupted musical interests. After Military Service, like so many, the Factories and Mills of the South East side was the place to earn a living for several years. The City of Chicago called and a career change happened. 25 yrs of Service to the City earned retirement and a chance to enjoy Music. Studying guitar with Jazz guitarist John Moran set Tom on the path.

Teaching guitar at a south suburban Music store and meeting great musicians from the area Tom was a founding member of the band and local favorite Soul Motion. When Soul Motion's time came to a end a new musical career began. And now its time to share this heartbeat of music, with the soulful voice of Mel Duffy.
