Singer, songwriter, and recording artist Tom Pease entertains with great music and audience participation that will have you rockin' and rollin' like no other performance.
All performances are first-come, first-serve - wrist bands will be handed out one hour prior to each performance.
Tom was born and raised in Burlington along the Mississippi River and its surrounding bluffs, which gave him a foundation of love of the natural world. Eventually this led him to teaching environmental education for 3 years in California, which is where he first started singing with kids.
He then moved to his brother’s farm in Wisconsin to teach a bit and learn animal husbandry, carpentry, and masonry skills. After a few years of working with his hands, he began to miss working with kids. Music was his vehicle back to them.
Tom has performed full time since 1982 doing over 200 programs yearly. He now resides in rural Amherst, Wisconsin on 75 acres of rolling woods and fields with his wife, Louise, their sons, Broegy and Morgan, and their dog and cat.
