About Tom Wilson

Over the course of a career that now spans three decades, Tom Wilson has put together a body of work impressive in both quantity and quality. Beat Music, his first full album, was recorded in 1986 with The Florida Razors, a popular band on the Hamilton scene.

Tom struck Canadian rock gold in the ‘90s as the leader of the much loved Junkhouse, and then found a whole new audience as a crucial component of roots-rock super-group Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, with whom he now shares a label home in True North Records. He found time to release a solo debut, Planet Love, in 2001, while last year’s collaboration with Bob Lanois, The Shack Recordings, Vol. 1., was critically acclaimed.

Along with a few Cowboy Junkies, and some Skydiggers, Tom created the artist collective LeE HARVeY OsMOND around a sound that would creep out of the Northern woods and across the Great Lakes into the South, the same way The Band did forty years before them.
