Nashville-based Tom Ritchie is a British-American artist, born in Yorkshire to a Scottish father and an English mother. Growing up, Tom soaked up the grit of rock, the heartfelt confessions of singer-songwriters, and the soul of country music. For years, he honed his craft in the shadows of the bar and club scene—a rebel in search of a home.
Tom’s journey eventually led him eastward to the winding canals of Holland. There, amidst a new culture and new faces, he sharpened his edges and broadened his musical horizons. However, a voice inside him whispered about a different kind of home: one of honky-tonks, steel guitars, and storytellers.
That voice belonged to Nashville, Tennessee. Tom took a leap of faith and landed in Music City, where he settled with a heart full of hope and a guitar case full of songs. Here, his country-pop/rock sound—a blend of melodious hooks and unapologetically introspective lyrics—finally found its true rhythm.
Most recently, Tom has been collaborating with veteran producer John Vesely. Their partnership has already yielded several stunning tracks, with many more on the horizon.
