WELCOME
I am Tom Ashcraft and this is my story. I love music and I love musicians and what you give to me. I want you to succeed. I want you to be able to make a living doing what you love to do. This is my attempt to help you live your dream. You can do it! I am a true music fan. You want me to be your fan. I will drive four hours to hear your show. I will buy all your CDs, then buy them again on vinyl. I will kickstart your next album or tour. I will buy you lunch. You deserve it. This is my gift to you. Tips for the touring musician from a fan's point of view. If anything here helps, tell me and tell your friends. When I say something stupid, let me know.CONTACT
