Tommy Peltier / Kacey Johansing

Tommy Peltier started as a jazz musician and bandleader with his group, The Jazz Corps, with whom he famously cut an album with (Rahsaan) Roland Kirk in 1967. Due to health circumstances, he had to give up playing his horn. This led Tommy to the L.A. folk scene of the late 1960's where he soon became tight friends and collaborators with Judee Sill, making his own brand of folk-pop throughout the 70's. He found his way to MIDI guitar in the 80's and started interpreting his unique brand of songwriting through this new musical palette, which he has continued and expanded on since. Tommy now works with a trio to perform his songs (Tommy on MIDI Guitar/Vocals, Aaron MF Olson on Fretless Bass, Jude Tedaldi on Cello), who have a new album in the works, and who can be found gigging around the Los Angeles area.
