About The Artists
Thomas Dunning
By his own admission, Thomas Dunning is not a trained musician, but he plays one on the stage. And in the studio. And as a producer. And so on. He is the perfect example of becoming what you need to become through an unstoppable desire to share your passions with others.
Like many, Tom claims a flirtation with choral singing during his “skool daze.” In high school he appeared in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and GREASE. Who didn’t? Regarding music at the university level, he had this to say: “The only thing about my college career that’s interesting is that I went to three different schools. At one I was introduced to revolutionary feminist theory, then I got arrested (I was one of the DeKalb 79), then I got kicked out. I sang at the other two.”
That auspicious beginning nothwithstanding, Tom the Performer is now possessed of a gift that most pros beat themselves up trying to achieve: an ability to be “in the moment” during a piece, which is why he and Kate Bush are so compatible. His antics, his storytelling, his life on stage appear rehearsed, planned, orchestrated. Then he’ll dismount and say “Oh, I had no idea what I was doing.” It’s a sweet edginess —
