Born in the small town of Ruckersville, Virginia on November 25th, Tommy Wood cut his teeth on country music by listening to his mom’s Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn albums. Tommy went through his adolescent and teenager years dreaming of becoming a country music artist and after receiving an associate’s degree in college he decided that the time was right to follow his dream.
Tommy started playing drums for the band Crossfire and after meeting some of his greatest influences such as George Jones, Tracy Byrd and Trace Adkins; he knew that it was meant for him to take center stage.
Tommy has been performing with his band Nite Shift since that time and he released his first Nashville produced CD containing 10 tracks written by some of Nashville’s most prestigious songwriters. A trip to Kansas and Missouri produced his first video for the song “I Tripped Over Your Memory” which was awarded video of the week on Nashville Showcase in October of 2002 and has been airing on Great American Country.
Tommy’s first national release to radio “I Tripped Over Your Memory” scored his first #1 single on Inside Country in April 2003. He followed this up with his second release “The Book” which scored another #1 single on Indie World in July of 2003. Tommy toured in 2004 and then 2005 brought him back to the studio in Nashville to record a 3-song project with producer Dave Fowler.
2006 has brought more excitement for Tommy Wood as his touring schedule continues to increase as well as his special guest appearances in Nashville.
Tommy also caught the eye of Skyline Management Group who has set many goals for him, which includes a trip back into the studio with talented producer Dave Fowler by summer’s end.
