Musical Path of Tommy Allen

In 1990 Tommy got his first guitar at the age of 13 and began teaching himself to play.

From 1995 to 1996 he attended the Guitar Institute. He eventually abandoned his tuition and instead entirely devoted himself to gaining experience on the road.

Until the age of 21 this involved performing with Marcus Maloneâs band playing a mix of soul, funk and blues rock at hundreds of live gigs and music festivals around the country. He also features on Maloneâs album âOne more time.â

Having gained invaluable experience through touring with Malone, Tommy joined Nicky Moore Blues Corporation at the age of 21. Between 1998 and December 2001 Tommy played blues-rock with the Blues Corporation on two CDs (â300 pounds of joyâ and âLiveâ), on never-ending tours of work from live radio shows to live performances and overseas gigging.
