His music is a mix of Texas Americana, country, blues, rockabilly, swing, and folk. He'll keep your feet tapping and your body moving. He cut his teeth on the late Johnny Horton's brand of music, and it seems to have rubbed off on the boy. The first music Tommy Irvin probably ever heard was an old Jimmy Driftwood song sang by Johnny Horton. The song is called The Battle of New Orleans. Yeah Tommy's mother Paulette would play the thing all day every day, and young Tommy who was musically inclined must have been influenced by the Horton style. Tommy started singing, drumming, and playing piano and by age 7 he was performing with a band. Tommy went on to graduate high school, then to college but then joined the Army. After regular duty in the Army he went to the Texas Army National Guard. Before and during all this time he had been drumming singing and learning to play rock and blues. He worked steady as a drummer for various rock bands in Dallas/ Ft. Worth as early as 1987. Tommy moved to Nashville in 1989 and 1990 for a young girl from Texas, needless to say she broke his heart. But she left him with some good advice, she had told him to give up drumming and start singing because she thought he had a country voice. Actually, Tommy not only had to listen to Johnny Horton but his mother also had Cash, Paycheck, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Jim Reeves, Hank Thompson, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Little Jimmy Dickens, Buck, Jones, Haggard, Marty Robbins, Faron Young and Roger Miller which she played regularly. Tommy had been influenced by the old school no doubt although rockabilly and country music is his favorite music he was influenced by all styles from Blues, Jazz, Classical, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock, Metal.
