HEATHEN TOM

Tom (they/them) has always loved music, starting in church and school. As a kid, they tried out different instruments like the piano, guitar, harmonica, and drums. In middle school, they joined the percussion section which sparked a love of rhythm. In high school, Tom played in the marching band on the drumline and also used different percussion instruments like the marimba, timpani, snare, bells, cymbals, and even the triangle during concert season. Later, in college, Tom took a semester of guitar lessons and enjoyed singing harmonies with their musician friends.
