Tom Thiel Trio
Laid-Back Americana Blues Rock
Led by WAMI award-winning guitarist and songwriter Tom Thiel — who's played everywhere from the Viper Room in Hollywood to a Washington D.C. inaugural ball — the goal has always been the same: great songs, told honestly, with vintage tones to match. Add Jeremy Rechner's woody bass thump and Patrick Wydeven's hip, unhurried grooves, and you've got blues-soaked, Zeppelin-influenced rock n' roll rooted in a laid-back unpretentious vibe.
Their 2025 record Waiting on the Weather arrived with some noise — WAMI winner for Rock Album of the Year, with Breakin' My Bones up for Blues-Rock Song of the Year and Pawn Shops & Liquor Stores named WAMI Rock Song of the Year by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry.

“Led Zeppelin may be an odd comparison for an artist whose music is in the Americana/folk rock realm. But on songs like “Minneapolis Moline,” “Road Back Home,” “Turn This Car Around,” Thiel shows the kind of ability to create attention-getting acoustic guitar riffs or fingerpicked sequences Zep brought to songs like “Over the Hills and Far Away,” “Going to California” or “Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.” - ALAN SCULLEY
