Details:
Tom Kozlowski is a singer/songwriter currently living in central Ohio with his wife Carey, two cats, and five guitars. He is a self-taught musician, writing songs since he was ten years old, though in recent years he has studied formal composition and guitar with central Ohio composer Richard Smoot. His influences have been many, and range from folk to rock to classical music. The themes of his songs include world events, as well as spirituality, and the âinner spaceâ we all share. He loves to read poetry and is a big fan of Flannery OâConnorâs short stories. His idea of the perfect day(aside from writing a new song) is a hike in the Rocky Mountains with Carey, where once, on such a hike, they were visited by a raven on the trail for the better part of an hour, and he took that to mean an omen of good things to come. He believes itâs best for his songs to speak for themselves, because, he says, revealing too many secrets, will, in the words of a native American shaman âdiminish the power of oneâs magicâ.

Tom plays primarily in smaller, intimate venues, such as coffee houses, parties, and small clubs.

Although âBetween Two Firesâ is Tom Kozlowskiâs first formal release, it is by no means his first collection of songs. He has many songs in his catalogue, and future releases will certainly be forthcoming.

"Daisies and violets withered the day my lover died
I'm cursed to wear this veil 'till I reach the other side
Where is my love for today we are wed
Rosemary blooms and these songs fill my head..."
