ABOUT

Hi, I'm Tom McCollough, a musician and songwriter looking for like-minded individuals to join me in creating an experience. Are you a musician or a more behind-the-scenes person? Here are some essential details:

I am searching for musicians and capable A/V techs to join the team. Are you a guitarist, bassist, singer, synth player, or sound engineer? Keep reading.

What is the style and direction of our music?
Our music combines traditional rock instruments with synthesizer technology, resulting in captivating melodies and clever arrangements that can't always be categorized into any specific genre. Think Pop/Rock. Although we draw inspiration from various musical movements, we don't conform entirely to any particular style.

How will we promote our band?
We'll livestream and promote the music through multi-cast performances on social media. Our productions will have top-notch sound quality and multi-angle camera edits. We'll prioritize DistroKid's direct-to-listener distribution for global audience interaction over traditional local gigs.
All band members will receive revenue royalties, and the band will retain ownership of all recordings, videos, copyrights, and an equal share of related items.
That's my pitch. Are you a good fit?

If you're a male or female aged 21 years or older residing within a 20-mile radius of Nashville, and you work well in a team while accepting musical direction, please contact me to schedule a phone call. If we vibe, we can take it to the next level and arrange an in-person meeting. You can find my phone number in the pictures or contact me at immagood2 [at], a domain that sounds like ayoooo [dot] com.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
