Bio / Background
Oakland singer/songwriter and guitarist Tom Huebner
digs into the loamy soil of country, folk, blues and
bluegrass influences to craft songs that deliver
deeply personal themes and that often reflect the
diversity of today’s American cultural landscape.
It’s a world full of rogues and heroes, dreamers and
romantics, hard-bitten realists and jaded, faded
lovers. From the “El Norte” barrios of California, to
the Louisiana Cajun country, to the Alamo Mission
walls of San Antonio and all the back roads in
between, Tom’s songs explore the full range of human
emotion – joy, anger, sorrow, despair and hope.
Born in Arizona and growing up close to the Mexican
border in rural California, Tom’s musical roots run
deep in traditional American forms like blues, jazz
and country. When not preaching, his late father, a
Methodist minister, played boogie-woogie piano in the
rollicking style of Meade “Lux” Lewis, Albert Ammons
and Pete Johnson.

introduction to the great American Jazz tradition.
With a strong AM radio signal beaming in music over
the local citrus and avocado groves from San Diego,
Tom grew up loving the pop melodies and harmonies of
bands like The Beatles and Byrds, as well as the
tough-rock guitar riffs of Keith Richards and the
Rolling Stones. Later with the advent of the late
‘60’s and early ‘70’s, his ear turned toward much of
what was then happening in the L.A. and Northern
California country-rock scenes with people and bands
like Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman and The Flying
Burrito Brothers, the early Eagles recordings with
Bernie Leadon, The Grateful Dead’s seminal work on
their 1970 albums Working Man’s Dead and American
Beauty, and those great visionaries of modern
Americana – The Band. His forays into country and
bluegrass have been inspired by a long-time love of
the high, lonesome sound of people like Bill Monroe
and Doc Watson, folk singer Woodie Guthrie and country
artists like Merle Haggard, Willy Nelson and Waylon
Jennings, as well as more recently acclaimed
songwriters like Steve Earle, John Hiatt, Lucinda
Williams and Dave Alvin.
Honing his talents as a singer, songwriter and
guitarist in numerous bands since his early twenties,
Tom eventually went on to co-found the popular Bay
Area band Key Lime Pie (KLP)
(www.keylimepiemusic.com). After a six-year stint
with KLP that saw the release of their first album
entitled Cookin’ in 2000, he left the band in 2001 to
pursue a solo career. In 2004 Tom completed a new
album entitled Highway 43, which he co-produced with
former Sopwith Camel member Nandi Devam (Terry
MacNeil) for Devam’s indie label, Camel Records. The
CD is Tom’s first work as a solo artist and features
ten of his original compositions. To hear samples of
the recording and to purchase it on-line, click over

Tom has performed his music in front of enthusiastic
crowds at festivals, clubs and venues throughout
California and as a member of Key Lime Pie, shared the
bill with such talents as Peter Rowan, Joe Craven and
The Rebirth Brass Band. His current group features
Stacey Erdman on rhythm guitar and vocals and former
Key Lime Pie member Dean Cook on drums. Together with
bassist Mark Petrella, they round out a rockin’ band
that brings it all together wherever they play.
