Tom Rosenthal is een wonderbaarlijke Engelse singer-songwriter. Zeer mooie liedjes, sfeervolle clips en bijdragen aan succesvolle soundtracks zorgden voor een toegewijde ‘following’, met bijvoorbeeld een maanden op voorhand uitverkochte Roma. Zelf zegt hij hierover:
‘My name is Tom Rosenthal and I’m going to be honest with you. You won’t have seen me live before. The main reason being that I’ve had two daughters in the last 5 years and I didn’t want to leave home for long periods of time. But now it’s time to get out there and play. I do believe my songs can emotionally connect with people in a really great way and I want to make sure that happens in a live setting too.
Until now most live performances have just been myself and a piano/keyboard but I’m expanding my music horizons! For these performances I’ll be joined by a cellist and a guitar player/backing vocalist but will still aim to keep the intimacy that’s always been at the heart of my sound.’
The Guardian: ‘Gently epic ballads that channel Brian Wilson-esque whimsy through the mind of the classic British kook’’.
