Thom Chacon in concert

Thom Chacon, the Durango, Colorado balladeer has released his third studio
album, Blood In The USA, on Pie Records/ Appaloosa Records. The 9-song manifesto,
filled with stories of redemption, has the kind of inviting melodicism that will sweep
listeners into his deeper meanings.

With an organic backdrop of acoustic guitar and harmonica, along with Tony
Garnier (Bob Dylan) on bass and Tommy Mandel (Bryan Adams) on organ, Blood In
The USA, the album, is an Americana masterpiece. Recorded live in an all analog
format by producer Perry Margouleff, it delves into dust bowl era themes but brings
it up-to-date, blending a modern edge with the sort of unblinking grit and realism
that originated with the likes of Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston. Sung in a voice
somewhere between 1962 Dylan, 1982 John Prine and Ghost Of Tom Joad-era
Springsteen, Thom Chacon delivers his poetic verse and all-American sentiment
with the kind of memorable characters you just cant shake.

In January 2018, Chacon landed on the cover of the legendary Italian music
magazine, Buscadero. Thom has since toured Italy extensively and was awarded
Buscaderos Best New Artist of 2018. Chacon has literally traveled around the
world playing his songs: from the intimidating confines of Folsom Prison (a life-
changing experience) to Thailand, India and Europe. Having wandered the world,
winning over crowds that appreciate the ethos and honesty of his music, these new
songs are now proudly presented on Blood In The USA.

"Thom Chacon's music is simple, but dont mistake that for a lack of depth. Simple
writing is the hardest writing and always the best. His songs are packed with rich
imagery and instantly relatable sensibilities. He is a real writer and by that I mean
he has infected visions. I salute him." Mary Gauthier
