Biography
-----
Gaetano, also known as Tom, was born in Cleveland. He began performing his own blues shows at the age of 16. One of his first stage appearances was with the James Gang, sitting in for Joe Walsh at his Alma Mater, Kent State in 1970. Since then, he’s performed all over the U.S. including Europe and Asia.

Early performances with June Core of Robert Jr. Lockwood’s band, gave Gaetano a strong blues foundation based on B.B. King, Albert King, Muddy Waters and all the great blues patriarchs. Producer of 15 blues and jazz guitar albums, Gaetano has received stellar reviews in Downbeat, Guitar Player and many national/international publications. His music has been played on radio stations in every state as well as most foreign countries.

The Underworld Band is Gaetano’s blues trio formed in 2010 playing blues and music festivals throughout the U.S. The band won the Cleveland Blues Society’s 2014 Memphis Challenge and did four great shows in Memphis along with many exciting blues shows at the highest professional level for crowd excitement and interest. The Underworld Band plays creative blues shows that audiences love and will remember. The band has three excellent albums, Voodoo Doll & Other Blues Lessons 2014 and Resurrection 2016, Beatles Blues Blast 2020 with the highly anticipated Black Sheep of the Family album/CD release coming at the end of 2023.

Described as “a guitarist’s guitarist” and a “virtuoso” by music critics, Gaetano’s music stays true to the roots of blues while advancing the standard blues forms to delight the listener. “A new take on the blues” describes Gaetano’s treatment of modern blues problems in our lives now that we’re far from sharecropping in Mississippi. With blazing electric solos, red hot slide playing and nylon string guitar, listeners will be treated to a fun style of blues rock combined with funk and R&B that grooves and makes you move. The guitar playing is top shelf and the performances are high energy, audience-oriented fun.
