Live Babies with special guest Andrew Altman from Railroad Earth slappin da bass!
This Sunday, May 26th at the Blockley in Philadelphia, American Babies will perform all of the epic David Bowie album, “Station to Station”. Join us for what’s definitely gonna be an amazing and super fun night!
Hey Friends,
Most of you on here know me from music. Fans, colleagues, or folks I grew up with. After releasing 6 albums (four with Brothers Past, and two with American Babies) I think most would agree that when it comes to making records, I have a pretty good rep.
At the moment, I am about 3/4 finished making a new album, and it’s a beast. It’s the most complete picture of who I am as an artist that I’ve managed to make to date. A cross between BP’s moody, psychedelic, beats ‘n synths production mixed with The Babies’ rolling and raw songwriting. This record is angry, scared, and out for blood.
Today, American Babies and myself have launched a KickStarter campaign to fund the rest of the recording, as well as the release of this new album. Please check it out and help in any way you can.

The relationship between an artist and their fans is special, and I have experienced that first hand for a decade now. Your support is what has gotten me to where I am, as well as what keeps me going in a forward direction both in my musical life and my personal. I’m a lucky fucker to have you all.
Thank you,
Tom.
