Tom Dodd

http://traffic.libsyn.com/recordtalklisten/Tom_Dodd.mp3We have made it to our 60th episode and we feature Tom Dodd who recently celebrated 60 times around the sun. This episode marks the first time we have hit the road to record our latest episode. Tom invited me to his beautiful recording studio in his converted barn on the south branch of the Potomac river in WV. If this environment does not inspire a hit record then nothing will. Tom a DC native moved here and immediately established deep roots in the area by investing in main street Frostburg MD. Tom has gone from playing in bands, owning music venues and bars to finally settling into recording albums at South Branch Studios. Tom hits the open road in his classic yellow VW camper van each summer and he always enjoys the adventure.Enjoy!Contact Tom HERE
