Tom’s lyrics are honest and fun. His music is upbeat, full of great beat and makes me want to dance. In fact I’m chair-dancing as I type this. He has a great sense of humor! Can’t we all relate to Stormy Inside? And what about the end of Lovemobile. I laugh every time I hear it. This CD brings me enjoyment every time I listen, which is often! - Laura

Tom's CD is a great mix of acoustic/folk and granola-rock. My favorites are "Windy" (a James Taylor-like acoustic number) and "A Funny Thing" (a catchy pop tune). The musicians are the best the Berkshires have to offer. I highly recommend having "Breakfast".

Stormy Inside is a funky, funny glimpse into the futility of love and doomed relationships from folkie Tom Ingersoll. Off Ingersoll's Breakfast album on the TreeMendous Records label, Stormy Inside gets into the head of a guy you know is going to be playing air guitar to Love Stinks in no time. Ingersoll hails from the bucolic Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts, home to the granddaddy of folk-in-cheek humor, Arlo Guthrie, and it shows. Verses like "It's getting' stormy inside, and I'm staring into the eye of a hurricane/She'll blow over in no time" forecast nothing but trouble for the song's pitiful antihero. Stormy Inside delivers bluesy guitar riffs straight out of Robert Cray or Stevie Ray Vaughan, by way of James Taylor, John Hiatt, and David Lindley. Anyone who's suffered from love can dance to this one.
