Tom Catmull and the Clerics
Tom Catmull has been writing, recording, performing, eating and breathing music for about 12 years. He is originally from Spring, TX, but moved to Missoula, MT in 1994 where he currently resides on the Northside of town with is wife and two young sons. His performances are split between intimate solo acoustic venues and dancehalls where he plays with his 4-piece Americana-style band The Clerics. All along this merry road he has had the good fortune to share stages with the likes of Greg Brown, Robbie Fulks, Kelly Joe Phelps, Charlie Musselwhite and Asleep at the Wheel. The style of their music usually lands somewhere between the blurred lines of country, country swing, pop and folk. Its predictably tough to pin the music to one neat genre, but it is definitely an American roots driven sound.
