Tom Kozlowski
Tom Kozlowski is a singer/songwriter currently
living in central Ohio. He has been writing
songs since he was ten years old, though
in recent years he has studied formal
composition and guitar with central Ohio
composer Richard Smoot. His influences
have been many, and range from folk to rock
to classical music. The themes of his songs
include world events, as well as spirituality
and the "inner space" we all share. Torch
songs round out his repertoire. He loves to
read poetry and is a big fan of Flannery
O'Connor's short stories. His idea of a perfect
day (aside from writing a new song) is a hike in
the Rocky Mountains, where once,
on such a hike, he was visited by a raven
for the better part of an hour, which he took
to be an omen of good things to come.
He believes it's best for his songs to speak for
themselves, because, he says, revealing too
many secrets, will, in the words of a native
American shaman "diminish the power of one's
magic". He plays primarily in smaller, intimate
venues, such as coffee houses, parties, and
lounges. His new CD "Between Two
Fires" is available now on this site.
