ABOUT TOMMY: tommywomack.com
"Long a fixture of the Nashville music scene, he just keeps getting better and better. Songs come from a tortured & sometimes uniquely humorous perspective and make the opening set fly by. If Tommy plays your town make a point to catch him in his element, you will not be disappointed."
-Americana Highways
Tommy has appeared on David Letterman and Jay Leno. He has played with Matraca Berg, David Olney, Todd Snider, Peter Cooper, Marshall Chapman, and Will Kimbrough to name but a few. Jimmy Buffet recorded " Nobody From Nowhere" written by Tommy and Will Kimbrough Buffet Hotel released in 2009. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb0W7bOLN1o
Nashville rock veteran Tommy Womack acknowledges using a little poetic license. He began with the Bowling Green, Ky.-based indie-rock outfit Government Cheese and his time in The Bis-Quits through his two-decade-plus solo career and his work in the group Daddy. Also a one-time member of the brilliantly named Government Cheese, By the late '90s he spun off as a solo artist and has gone strong ever since (not counting a serious and temporarily debilitating car wreck, and a stint in rehab). Tommy is a troubadour who's nearly seen and done it all, and he gives it right back to his audiences and fans via a telltale, sung/spoken delivery system that's nakedly frank, plaintive, and amusing. Tommy has spent the bulk of his solo career sliding closer to the roots music scene,
Critics praise Womack's songwriting abilities, pointing out the numerous characters that live in his songs. However, Womacks true strength is in his composition of memorable lines, clever and intelligent lyrical bombs often thrown into the middle of songs to infect the listeners' consciousness days after hearing a song. Witness some of the poetic explosives hidden in the songs on Stubborn: Id crawl back in the womb right now if Jesus would show up and point the way. Gonna find me a woman who wont fall apart on the witness stand. I want to be a Christian rocker but the devils got all the good drummers. She was a Presbyterian in a porno picture, tossing her values aside. You can all go straight to hell, you'd better cut and run, get on your knees, and thank the lord that I don't have a gun.
Its a skill that separates Womack from the mundane Music Row factory writers in Nashville even as it marginalizes him from the whitebread world of radio and mainstream music. It also shows his Southern heritage as a religious tradition and rock n roll yearnings clash for the soul of the songwriter with the resulting imagery creating some of Rock's best rhymes. Among southern rockers, only Jason & the Scorchers Jason Ringenburg and, perhaps, Alex Chilton match Womack word for word.

"Jay Byrd has a magical way with words and a melody to make songs sound very personal to the listener too." The Rocking Magpie
Jason (Jay) Byrd has been a professional guitarist, singer, and songwriter since his late teens. In his early twenties, he co-founded the blues-rock trio The Groov with Kerry Brooks, and in 1996 joined the then-Grateful Dead cover band Wavy Train. Byrd's original songs and guitar work helped Wavy Train to forge a sound that combined pop-oriented melodies with extended improvisation. After moving to the Washington, DC area in 2001, Jason began crafting songs with a decidedly Americana bent. An award-winning songwriter (NewSong, Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, Bernard-Ebb Finalist), Jason continues to write and perform original roots-influenced music.
Throughout the years with Wavy Train, South Rail or as a solo artist, Jay has opened for Little Feat, Chely Wright, Cary Morin, Don Dixon & Marti Jones, Kevin Gordon, Caroline Rose, Yarn, etc. and has shared stages with String Cheese Incident, Tom Constanten, Col. Bruce Hampton, Ratdog and Steve Winwood, among many others. His previous band, South Rail, has released three EPs, a self-titled debut in 2012, "Stars" (2014), produced by Don Was, and most recently, Take The Wheel (2018).
Jays latest album, At Home Again, was released in August of 2022.
