"Tom Schrader has recorded a quiet unassuming acoustic blues recording. His slightly husky voice and accomplished guitar playing have an endearing warmth" - Dirty Linen on "Live at the Black & White Hamburger Shop"

Tom Schrader
"Live" at the Black & White
Hamburger Shop
1998

 

Produced by Going to the Moon Productions.
Engineered by Jeff Thornton at MIR.

Tom Schrader, Live at the Black & White Hamburger Shop, "Schrader performs a solo blues set before a small audience accompanied only by his acoustic guitar and harmonica. About half of the 17 songs are self-composed, the rest are from such blues luminaries as Muddy Waters and Freddy King. Schrader's songwriting is basically straight forward and his delivery is pleasant. If you're looking for an easy-listening blues set for rainy days or hot Saturday afternoons, this is it" - Rock & Blues News

Tom is one of the most straightforward artists you could ever hope to meet. It makes sense that the blues he writes are as worthy as the man himself. Catch him live for a sincere roots based blues performance.
