Tom Ovans

**Tom Ovans** is a gritty, road-worn American singer-songwriter whose music blends raw Americana, blues, and folk with a poetic edge. Emerging from the Texas music scene in the 1970s, he carved out a niche with his weathered vocals and stark, storytelling lyrics that often explore themes of survival, wanderlust, and societal undercurrents. Ovans is known for his fiercely independent spirit, self-releasing much of his work and touring relentlessly across the U.S. and Europe, earning a cult following for his unfiltered live performances (as heard on *When the Dice Began to Roll [Live in Italy 1993]*). His discography, including recent releases like *Crows in the Corn* and *Still in This World*, showcases his knack for darkly vivid narratives and a sound steeped in the traditions of troubadours like Townes Van Zandt. Despite flying under the mainstream radar, Ovans remains a lifer—a songwriter’s songwriter with a catalog as unpolished and enduring as the stories he tells.
