Tom Catmull is a word enthusiast. They are the larger part of what

makes his world go round. He’s spent the last twenty-five years in his

adopted hometown of Missoula, MT presenting words in ways to

make them as alluring as possible to people who crave such things.

The tricks useful to achieving this feat include infectious melody,

thoughtful arrangement, storytelling, some finger picking and a clean

shirt. The last couple of decades have included seven full length

albums, a few television appearances (Montana PBS 11 th and Grant),

a hundred theaters performances (The Wilma, The Rex, The Roxy,

The Dennison, etc), dozens of festivals, countless honkytonks and

two ridiculously fun national anthems. He’s been the supporting act

for Robert Earl Keen, Charlie Musselwhite, Junior Brown, Asleep at

the Wheel and a dozen others. There exists some confidence that his

roots driven Americana songs are worthy of your time. Don’t be

fooled, though. The acoustic guitar, harmonica and hat are just cheap

ploys to get the words out in front of you.
