Minnesota native Tom Feldmann taught himself to play guitar at age 17 after hearing the recordings of the pioneers of acoustic blues and states, "John Lee Hooker taught me how to strum and Muddy Waters taught me how to slide." His debut solo album was released in 1999 and Tom has since spent the years writing, touring and recording his own original gospel compositions as well as carrying on the tradition of solo acoustic blues.

Most recently Tom has been busy teaching guitar lessons for Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop who's roster of teachers reads like a "Who's Who" of the guitar world with legends like: Chet Atkins, David Bromberg, John Renbourn, John Fahey, Pat Donohue, Dave Van Ronk, Buster B. Jones and many more.
