Tom Catmull is a word enthusiast, for lack of a better term. They are the larger part of what makes his world go round. He’s spent the last twenty five years in his adopted hometown of Missoula, MT presenting words in ways to make them as alluring as possible to people who crave such things (and “ambushing” those who do not!). The tricks useful to achieving this include infectious melodies, thoughtful arrangements, storytelling, some finger picking and a clean shirt. His last couple of decades have included seven full length albums, a stack of plastic framed “Best Musician” endorsements, a few television appearances(Montana PBS 11th and Grant), theaters performances(The Wilma, The Rex, The Roxy), countless honkytonks, about a hundred original songs and one national anthem performance(”um, …Go Maulers!”). There is some healthy confidence that his Americana show is worthy of your time. But don’t be fooled. The acoustic guitar and harmonica are just cheap ploys to get the words out in front of you. There are stories in there. $5 added to tabs after 7p.
