Tom Hannay’s latest release ‘The Feeding Hand’ brings together his silky, rough-edged sound and a raw vocal talent. The track is a smooth mix of alternative country and smokey blues, an absolute storm of a track reminiscent of artists from Kurt Vile to The Band. The gravitas of Tom’s voice finds a worthy home alongside the track’s soaring guitar and lazy, rolling drums. Moments of coolness and restraint are later contrasted with waves of lush harmonies in the chorus, while the vocals escalate to a confessional howl.
Tom is a unique artist who lives and breathes music, quite literally as he was inspired to go on the road and reach audiences in the most organic way possible. Armed only with his motorhome and guitar, the singer-songwriter-guitarist has been road-tripping across the country and the new video for ‘The Feeding Hand’ gives a glimpse into Tom’s nomadic life. This latest offering is the first taste of Tom’s debut album out in May 2019, and is a remarkable demonstration of Tom’s talent as a songwriter, producer and musician.
