Artist History For the last decade Tommy Merry has been a guitar icon in the Bay Area, tearing up the fretboard with music featured on local radio stations (KSAN, KOME & KSJO), National TV shows (FOX CH2 The Crow, Powder Park and the U.S.A. Olympics) and sports videos (along with Eric Johnson and Gary Hoey).

Group Members On Drums Brian Shearn: An articulate drumer who loves odd meter timings as well as straight pounding grooves. Brian has a diverse back ground from thrash metal projects all the way to blues shuffle bands On Bass Mark Welker: the latest addition to Tommy's line up and is a seasoned Cali Bay Area player with Billy Sheehan flair and great great sense of playing in the pocket. Together they form the driving tidal wave that Tommy Merry surfs upon with solos of dark aggresion to uplifting and melodic passages

Instruments Ibanez Jem guitars and Pearl drums.

Press Reviews "Merry's guitar playing is fluid, tasteful and fits the song he's playing brilliantly. The rest of the band is also first rate; rock solid bass playing and drums" -InstrumentalMusic.com
