Tom Carroll first realized his love for playing the guitar after reading an article in Guitar World about the young blues phenoms Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepard. With this new discovery of blues music, Tom soon realized what he wanted to do with his life. He started taking guitar lessons at the Fabulous School of Music and never looked back. He started specializing in blues, learning the music of such artists as Albert Collins, B.B. King, Magic Sam, Albert King, and many more.
After high school, he took his music studies to the next level enrolling at Berklee College of Music. While there, he dove deeper into blues while also discovering many other genres such as Country, Funk, and Classic Rock. Tom studied with Tomo Fujita, Mike Williams, Dan Bowden, Scotty Johnson, Julian Kasper, Jon Finn, while at Berklee. Tom also became friends with another music hero, a Boston blues legend, Monster Mike Welch, a man Tom has gotten inspiration from.
