Tom Nolan - R&B and Education

Some people do manage to have it all...

Not only does Tom Nolan run a tight ship of an R&B band playing nearly 60 gigs a year, but he also happens to be a dedicated educator.  Tom has worked as a Dean of Students at the prestigious Crossroads School in Los Angeles, for nearly 30 years.  Add to his CV the fact that he has a killer voice, covering some R&B standards with muscle and grit, and crooning his own memorable tunes, like Redheads and Red Wine.  

I did a three-part interview with Tom as we wandered through the charming canals of Venice, CA.  In the first he discusses his origins and motives...

Part II, where he talks about his move from acting a rock+roller to being one... plus his songwriting process.
