Car Tourismo Banner

MULTI-instrumentalist, performer, composer and songwriter Tom Portman will be performing at the Courthouse Gallery, Ennistymon this Saturday.

Tom is based in the West of Ireland and plays acoustic and electric guitar, dobro and lap steel. He presents a wide repertoire with his compositions drawing on many global styles, yet they have a distinct flavour of their own.
Last month saw the launch of Tom’s second solo album, At One. This self produced collection features instrumental compositions, songs and arrangements of traditional Irish tunes for finger-style guitar and dobro.
In addition to live and studio session work, Portman teaches music in Galway through the GTI and Maoin Ceol School of Music. He regularly performs around Ireland from small venues to festivals such as the Electric Picnic and the DLR Festival of world cultures. Internationally, Tom has toured in Poland where he played the Suwalki Blues festival. Portman has also played venues in the UK, North Italy and the South of France.
In previous years he has collaborated on Bluegrass/Americana projects with Gone to Grass, Kiss my Bluegrass and Vince Cross. See www.myspace.com/vincentcrossx.
