Tomaloff channels inspiration into music and books
When David Tomaloff's solo disc, "Birds on Wires," appeared last year, it knocked our socks off. Here was a guy on the local scene writing great songs and making a subtle, nuanced alt.country record that deserved attention. Then, Tomaloff said he wrote a book. Considering the literary quality of his songwriting, it was hardly a surprise. But, Tomaloff says, it was kind of a surprise to him, in a sense.

Talking about "Birds on Wires" with Tomaloff
With his band The Dammitheads, Racine singer, songwriter and guitarist David Tomaloff made some strides. So, when his first solo record recently appeared, it looked like Tomaloff ditched the band and jumped into the void. Instead, he says, "Birds of Wires," a gorgeous blend of country and roots rock, has been a long time coming.
