Details:
Inundated Music is proud to announce the release of "Backwater Tales" by artist Tom Coerver. This solo album features eleven original tunes of energetic roots, rock and blues music from planet Louisiana. From the swampy bottomland groove and snaky slide guitar of "Dust in the River" to the relentless syncopated slam of "Badlands" to the jittering swing of "All About A Dollar" to the solo piano and homesick vocal of "Mississippi Mud", Tom puts together a gumbo of blues slide, southern rock sizzle, bayou boogie keyboards, and a hint of jazz harmony here and there to keep the flavor down-home southern.

It all started with a second-hand piano at home and then the neighbor kid got some drums and the world then revolved around rhythm. After a move to the Houston area from native Baton Rouge, Tom''s teen years were filled with guitar licks and broken turntables after learning licks from the Allmans, Creedence, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, and many other blues-rock icons of the day. On returning to Baton Rouge, Tom played drums and guitar in various bands and added keyboards back to his palette along the way while attending LSU. Then the search for gainful employment led to Jacksonville, Florida and a government job that provided enough funds to get band equipment and join the chase after the golden carrot with Bobby Ingram (now with Molly Hatchet). Six years of songwriting, showcase gigs, opening act gigs (for Rossington-Collins Band, Johnny Van Zant Band, Molly Hatchet, etc.), management and artist development deals led to a major-label record deal that resulted in the album "China Sky" and significant airplay.

After China Sky, Tom got back to his roots and settled down to engineering work, keyboard and guitar gigs, and married life back in Baton Rouge. He put together a digital recording and mastering studio and got back to the blues while producing, engineering, playing and recording albums with Louisiana notables such as the Delta Rockets, Rockin'' Tabby Thomas, Chicago Al and the Backburners, Burton Gaar, Tab Benoit, Larry Garner, Henry Gray, and John Lisi. These lineups took him back to the stages of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Baton Rouge''s Bon Fete Festival, and many more in search of the thrill of connecting with fellow music lovers. Tom is currently performing with his band "Tom Coerver & Backwoods BBQ" and the acoustic duo "Tom & Patty".
