The mantle of UK Piano Man has long been held by Elton John, Jools Holland and Jamie Cullum. Over the past five decades no one else has come remotely close - until now!
Fresh from his sell-out "Let The Good Times Roll" tour, Tom Seals - "quite possibly the future of jazz and blues" - has the world at his fingertips. His virtuoso soloing, excellent improvisation skills and distinctive voice have led top industry figures to hail him as the UK's finest boogie woogie and blues pianist and vocalist.
Still in his mid-twenties, Seals has already played sold-out shows across the globe, including London's legendary Ronnie Scott's, a stunning performance at Birdland Jazz Club on Broadway in New York, and work alongside Jools Holland.
Notable appearances include:
- Cheltenham Jazz Festival's 'Gregory Porter & Friends'
- Jools Holland's 'Boogie Woogie & Blues Spectacular'
- Birdland Jazz Club, New York City
- British Summer Time - Hyde Park
- Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club
- Gisburne Park Pop-Up
- Montreux Jazz Festival
- Cropredy Festival
- The Steinway Two Pianos Festival
- Glastonbury
- Newark Showground "Drive-In"
- Blenheim Palace
In his course, Tom throws open the secrets behind his playing - showing you how to swing standards at the piano, build authentic boogie woogie and blues lines, and find the freedom to improvise, so you can become the ultimate Piano Man yourself.
