TOM BURRIS
Ex-frontman for the indie-rock trio Jabbering Trout , Tom Burris is now emerging on his own with a new solo record ( Safari Records ) filled to the gills with infectious melodies and simple , straightforward lyrics. Burris started out as a creative writing teacher at Boston University with aspirations to become a novelist , but soon realized that whenever he came up with new ideas , he'd reach for a guitar. After awhile , it became obvious that the songs were what I was meant to write , he says. With this release , he joins the ranks of the alterna-folk singer/songwriters at the forefront of the genre. The structure and delivery of his songs are reminiscent of The Smiths , Billy Bragg and The Proclaimers. With a strong baritone voice and a solid backing band to help highlight his songs , Burris's solo work is a welcome addition to the modern music scene.
