Tom Alter is a talented singer-songwriter, known for his soulful voice and poignant lyrics that resonate with audiences. His songwriting often reflects personal experiences, social issues, literature and history. He records and performs regularly with singer/songwriter Katie Williamson as the duo After Blue. Katie will be joining Tom for a portion of the evening.
Tom has released ten albums of original recordings as a solo artist and After Blue has released for collections. Their music is available on all streaming platforms.

His roots are deep in Detroit, but when he sits in front of the keys, Jarrod Champion’s sound makes its way to the south, over in the dixieland and delta. Ask anyone, he’s one of the best in the city. If it’s top notch Detroit made music you seek, look no further.
