Event Details
Tom Goss is a veteran singer-songwriter whose new album, Territories, weaves soulful vocals and atmospheric soundscapes into haunting songs about the complexities of modern love. A college wrestler turned Catholic seminarian turned polyamorous gay musician, Tom sings about disillusionment, desire, and hope in a deeply personal yet relatable way.Tom is a prolific writer and performer: he has released six albums, made music videos that have been viewed more than 12 million times, and played hundreds of shows across the US, Canada, and Europe. His songs have been heard on ABC, HBO, and Univision, and he has shared a stage with performers as diverse as Andy Grammer, Taylor Dane, Adrianne Gonzalez, and Catie Curtis. He enjoys a particularly strong following in the LGBT community.
Tom has been compared to Twin Shadow, Mat Kearney, and Wye Oak -- but with a distinct perspective shaped by his unusual history. Tom was raised in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and went to college in Missouri on a wrestling scholarship with plans to become a schoolteacher. To the surprise of family and friends, he instead decided to become a Catholic priest and moved to Washington DC to enter seminary. Frustrated by a series of #metoo experiences, Tom found his voice in songwriting and performing. After a decade in DC, he moved to Los Angeles with his husband in 2015.
Territories, Tom's seventh album, was written over the course of a year of separate travels with his husband and a new lover. Being released this Fall, it tells the complex story of a changing marriage and emerging relationship through songs named after the places that inspired them. It's a stunning evolution of substance and style for an artist who has embarked on a thrilling new journey.
