Tom Wilson

Tom Wilson is a Canadian singer-songwriter and visual artist known for his gritty storytelling and genre-blending folk-rock sound. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, this Juno-winning musician first gained recognition as part of bands like Blackie and the Rodeo Kings before launching a solo career and the psychedelic-tinged project Lee Harvey Osmond. His recent work, including tracks like "Lento" and "Bigger Than You," showcases his weathered baritone voice and knack for blending bluesy grooves with poetic lyrics about life’s raw edges. A self-described "middle-aged, Indigenous, hillbilly troubadour," Wilson often weaves his Mohawk heritage into his art, creating music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.

When he’s not crafting moody, atmospheric tunes like "Flowers of the Bordello" or the wistful "Fly Away," Tom doubles as a celebrated visual artist and author – his memoir "Beautiful Scars" revealing his late-in-life discovery of his Indigenous roots. His 2023 releases continue his tradition of mixing swampy guitar riffs, haunting melodies, and lyrics that sit with you like a late-night conversation with an old friend. Whether solo or with collaborators, Wilson’s music always carries the warmth and weariness of someone who’s lived a thousand stories worth sharing.
