SCHS: History Through Music w/ ‘Country-Fried Tom’ Cilmi, Country Music, 6.29th @ 11AM to Noon

TOM CILMI / Acoustic Country Music

Tom Cilmi is an acoustic country music performer from Bay Shore.  With a father who played jazz saxophone in the 50’s and 60’s and a mother who loved to dance, Tom was exposed to all sorts of music from an early age.  From playing drums and then guitar in his early teens, to hard rock music in a high school band, to playing popular rock and roll in a band while in his thirties, to his most recent incarnation as a country music performer, Tom is no stranger to the stage.  He began performing country music as a soloist several years ago, and as the genre grew in popularity in recent years, so has Tom’s schedule.  While his typical repertoire is heavily weighted toward contemporary country like Eric Church, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and Chris Stapleton, Tom plays some classics as well from artists such as Johnny Cash, Randy Travis, Willie Nelson, and more.
