Tom Brosseau

Tom Brosseau is a North Dakota-born folk troubadour whose storytelling charm and delicate guitar work have carved a unique niche in the Americana scene. Raised in Grand Forks, his music often reflects the vast landscapes and quiet resilience of the Midwest, delivered with a voice that feels both nostalgic and immediate. Over the years, Brosseau has built a reputation for crafting intimate, literary songs that blend personal reflection with regional folklore, earning praise from critics and fellow musicians alike. His recent releases—like the warmly received *Songs from The Great American Folk Show, Vol. 1* (2022) and the introspective *Posthumous Success* (2020)—showcase his knack for weaving heartfelt narratives with spare, evocative arrangements.

A prolific artist, Brosseau’s catalog spans raw solo acoustic gems (*From Blue & White Notebooks*) to collaborative projects tinged with whimsy (*The Great Hot Air Balloon Rally*). Tracks like "Been True" and "Hurt to Try" highlight his ability to balance melancholy with hope, while albums such as *Amory* (2018) and *A Lifetime Ago, Vol. 3* (2016) underscore his enduring connection to place and memory. Whether performing on small stages or contributing to NPR’s *Prairie Home Companion*, Brosseau remains a quietly compelling voice in modern folk, inviting listeners into his world of dusty highways, weathered diners, and tender human connections.
