Tom’s Fun Band was born in the summer of 2007. Tom had stopped playing music at local clubs and churches and was seeking a new musical outlet. His twins, Josh and Abby provided all the inspiration Tom needed. In just a few short months Fun Band headquarters was buzzing with new songs about bath time, breakfast, taking rides in the wagon and silly monsters in the mirror. Word got out and requests for shows came in! Tom found that performing for children was exactly what he was born to do! But there was still something missing. In the Fall of 2007, Tom met professional tuba player, Will Samson. The two hit it off immediately and joined forces to start Tom's Fun Band's educational series.
The band still needed something else! With a little encouragement, Chris Wilbeck (Tom's brother), joined the group in early 2008. When Will was awarded the honor of being a member of The President's Own Marine Band in 2016, The hunt was on again to find a provider of low frequency. Russell Bush, a long time friend of the band, was drafted to play bass and John Jackson was also drafted to play ukulele and sing harmony. The chemistry was automatic! You can now see Tom's Fun Band at festivals, schools, libraries, fundraisers, parties, museums and anywhere positive family music is needed!
