About The Tommos:
Jenny May
Originally from Texas, Jenny May spent most of her life growing up in New Hampshire and Vermont. Since she was seventeen, Jenny was singing with bands in venues throughout New England, mainly playing covers by some of her influences such as Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Billie Holiday and The Allman Brothers and then eventually adding original material to the sets.
Jenny May performed in bands that shared the stage with such acts as Toots and the Maytals, Lonnie Mack, The J. Geils Band, NRBQ, 10,000 Maniacs and Rosanne Cash, received radio-airplay, performed at festivals such as The Coors Light Balloon Festival in Syracuse, NY and The Ben and Jerry's Festival in Vermont - including singing on a track featured in the movie Philadelphia starring Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks.
In 2000, Jenny May produced and wrote songs for her studio album 'The May Sessions', which was recorded with former band mates and Jon Fishman from Phish on drums.
Jenny then took a short break from music and in 2003 travelled to England, where she met Dave Tommo.
Dave Tommo
Growing up in Portsmouth, England, Dave Tommo was influenced at a young age to pick up the guitar and write songs upon hearing the music of The Clash and the lyrical genius of Crass and Bob Marley. Dave has played the British music circuit as singer, bass player and contributing songwriter for punk band 4 Minute Warning; Brighton based reggae band The Jam Jah Tree and more recently, was the founder of Oxford ska band The Drug Squad, who self released a debut album and played venues throughout England.
Since meeting Jenny, Dave's songwriting has been taken to a new level, challenging him to even more rewarding experiences by writing songs together. With their diverse background and musical influences, they have now come together to produce a sound all their own.
