It was then that he set out on the performing path, which ranged from the grange halls of rural Maine to major concert venues, such as Town Hall. Later on, when thirteen years old, he was given a banjo as a gift, which lead him to forming a folk band in high school. They called themselves the Chord Majority and toured Maine extensively. Later, in 1975, shortly after graduating from the University of Southern Maine with a degree in music education, Tom joined the Maine folk/rock group Devonsquare, which split up three months later. He then decided to go with the side of the band that wanted to cover more traditional music, which also consisted of brothers Chuck and Steve Romanoff. Together, they formed the folk trio Schooner Fare. As a member of the band, Tom sang and played electric bass guitar and tin whistle, plus various other instruments. In 1992, he became part of a second group, Rowe by Rowe, a duo which also featured his son, Dave. Six years later, a third member joined, Tom's old friend Denny Breau. It was then that the group's name was changed to Turkey Hollow. Tom had also released a solo album, titled "Whistle Up a Storm", in 1991. Sadly, his life ended in 2004, after he had fought a two and a half month long battle with throat cancer.
