“It’s a wonderful composition, really uplifting serious feelgood music, and actually one of my favourites of the year, and I buy a LOT of music!!”

I have always loved music and lyrics especially when they combine in a way that makes me feel like I am understanding or being understood at last.

Whether it was simply joy or a deeper connection to my world and my self… songs were my best teacher and friend. I am a writer with a music degree so I’m amazed it took me so long to put these two parts of my life together. All things in their time I guess, so here they are…my first songs. I was as honest as I knew how to be.

Review by Out & About Newspaper

Since moving to Nashville a decade ago, singer/saxophonist/percussionist Tommy Keenum has lent his soulful touch to a wide range of live shows including David Mead, Bobby Bare Jr., The Bees, and Steff Mahan.

He is also a charter member of the hugely successful band of Nashville glitterati that is Guilty Pleasures. With the release of his first solo record last year, Keenum’s unique style was placed front and center. Produced by Bees frontman Daniel Tashian, Sentimental Jamboree is packed with fresh takes on a delightful assortment of writers from Isaac Hayes to Nick Drake and is the perfect showcase for Keenum’s lush vocals and lyrical sax work. Jack Silverman of the Nashville Scene called Sentimental Jamboree “great bedroom listening that goes even deeper than that, probing themes of love more from the spirit than the body.”

His self-penned new release Time Marches On builds on the same pop/jazz dreaminess while the songs chart one man’s journey to grow up, get real, and live with passion and integrity. For more info go to www.tommykeenum.com
