“Tom Jaworski has consistently been in demand on the UK music scene as a live performer, session player and composer. However his undying focus on staying true to the creation of great music has seen him less concerned with self promotion as he flies under the radar from project to project. ”
After picking up the guitar at the age of 11 and rarely putting it down, Tom emerged from ACM College in Guildford 8 years later awarded 'Guitarist of the Year' and began his recording career with an appearance in Guitarist magazine whilst featuring on their "Blues Special" CD. Sharing the Stage with the up-coming Blues star Aynsley Lister soon after, Tom developed a very sought after roots based guitar style that would adapt to many forms of music whilst being firmly planted in the blues.
He began many years of gigging with many different bands and musicians from all walks of life including support slots for Tom Jones followed by a Roxette Arena tour with the Mim Grey Band. Tom regularly plays in 'The Blue Devils' blues band alongside legendary musicians such as Jim Leverton, Richard Studholme, Graham Walker, Dave Bronze, Andy Newmark and Hamish Stuart and has recently been performing slide guitar and lap-steel duties for Paul Young in Los Pacaminos.
Tom has played with Danny Toeman at Bluesfest at the Royal Albert Hall and is a regular performer at the Blues Kitchen Camden and Surrey Blues Club Hersham. Tom has also been asked to host a rhythm and blues night for Meantime Brewery at their Greenwich tasting rooms. Aptly named 'Rhythm'n'Brews' the night features a great selection of musicians along side Tom and his house band. Tom can regularly be found gigging in London and UK venues with his partner and musical soul mate Aloma with ALOMAMUSIC and with pop rock party band Kingtastic fronted by close friend and old music college buddy Tony Bowen.
Aside from his live performances, his other passion lies in writing and recording. As a young composer, Tom's songwriting was noticed early in his career as he was approached to have one of his songs 'Easy Words' feature on the DVD release of Dawson's Creek. He is in the final stages of completing his forthcoming solo album. Having played as a session musician for a broad spectrum of artists form varied genres, Tom also appears on Richard Stuholme's blues album 'Life', Mim Grey's 'Chasing Tigers' and The Black Olives 'How About' & 'Sail My Wave'. On the other side of the musical spectrum Tom also appeared on the FrankMusik Album "By Nicole" (featuring Natasha Beddingfield).
More recently, Tom has completed his first Solo EP entitled ‘Wasted Blues’. Recorded over the summer lockdown of 2020 and comprising of 6 songs written recorded with all instruments played by himself.
The EP also features the vocal talents of Aloma on the track ‘These Blues’.
