Jun 06 : "Troubled Mind" - Dreaming Thomas (Philly)

Philly Music!

What first usually attracts me to a band's music is the instrumentals. And if the instrumentals have some vibrant and unexpected chord progressions, then it's a lock! Such was the case Saturday when I heard the music of Philly band "Dreaming Thomas". I was looking around at possible shows to attend at West Philly Porchfest. .

Dreaming Thomas played the porch at a house along Baltimore Avenue. Pedestrians, cars, and trolleys provided the backups. The band did a number of covers from a surprisingly wide range of styles. But there was more texture in their original pieces, and when they announced at the beginning of a song, "This is an original", I seemed to like those the most.

The band played a long show with only one very short break. Starting at Noon, the band was still going strong when I left at 1:30p (short window; had to leave for a previously-planned hangout).

My favorite song on their Soundcloud page is "Troubled Mind" :::






Dreaming Thomas doesn't have any other shows coming up soon, but here is the click to their Facebook page where you can see pics of their Porchfest show ::: Dreaming Thomas on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
