Tommy is thrilled to be performing a solo acoustic show in Lowertown. The set will include songs Bentz has written and recorded, mainly bluesy rock that spotlights his impeccable work on guitar, an instrument he didn’t take up until his mid-teens. While reading Bentz's lyrics, one gets a snapshot of his ideals - from the strength he derives from family ties to the always present issue of respect in this ever changing world. The audience are then left with the impression of a man who has learned much from where he's been, has processed that knowledge and now presses forward into the unknown with great purpose. If lyrics alone drove Bentz's work, the product would be wonderful, but combined with their technical musical prowess, warm and soulful vocals, southern jam style blues-rock combined with acoustic singer/songwriter flair...the audience is given a magically wide-ranged musical evening.
