The Grand Presents: Tom Peschges

“As a  songwriter I would describe my style as  a storyteller, hopefully in the tradition of some of my songwriting influences such as Guy Clark,  Verlon Thompson, Shawn Camp and others.  Of course John Denver is another significant influence in my writing.    I tend to incorporate humor in many of my songs but I think that each song should have some fundamental truth behind it.    The story itself may or may not be true word for word, but there should be a message that transcends the story itself.   That is what I strive for in my songs.   Not long ago someone came up to me after a show and said that I was “Authentic”   That is the highest compliment to which I can aspire

I have been performing solo and with my band, the Double Down Daredevils, for about 10 years now.   With each performance I strive to leave the audience with the feeling that time with me was time well spent.”
