A. Tom Collins is a five-piece rock "n" roll band that are hard to pigeon-hole, navigating the murky swamps of New Orleans R&B and "60s Soul, and following the cues of diverse influences from Tom Waits and Cab Calloway to The Stooges and Sam Cooke. A. Tom Collins drops anchor with an impressive crash at each and every port, transfixing bewildered audiences with its strange brand of old time futurism that is as familiar as it is refreshing. Expect wild horns, surprising rhythms, catchy gang chants, and one hell of a live show led by Aaron Collins, who Denver"s alt-weekly Westword called "one of the city s best frontmen." In its short history, A. Tom Collins has been featured at SXSW 2011 and 2012, Denver"s Westword Music Showcase (2010/2011/2012), and headlined the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase in 2011 and 2012. The final year of the Mayan calendar was a big one for the band, with bookings at Snowball Music Festival in Vail, SXSW in Austin, the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheater, Bohemian Nights Festival in Ft. Collins, New Belgium"s Tour de Fat, Green Route Festival in Denver. The band just announced a European tour in May, and a new full length record out nationally July 23rd, Stick & Poke, produced by the legendary Bob Ferbache(16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna"s Autoclub, Devotchka).
