The Windmill, Brixton

North Dakotan-in Calfornia TOM BROSSEAU has a unique enchanting shrill to his  voice and has recorded four beautiful albums for Fat Cat Records (three solo ones and another as part of the Les Shelleys project).

"Brosseau uses language with a straightforward grace that recalls the writing of John Steinbeck, and in the tradition of all great rustic music (blues, folk, bluegrass), frilly valentine moments sit side-by-side with menace and darkness" – TIME OUT

"equally imbued … by Woody Guthrie’s folk wanderlust, Cole Porter’s cosmopolitan class, and even Jeff Buckley’s arty otherworldliness. Indeed, Brosseau’s the sort of artist whose simple, strikingly unadorned songs and high, lonesome vocals could probably be fit to shape if not any occasion than certainly any time and place.’ – PITCHFORK
"The voice is unmistakably in its own class — a high, plaintive, almost feminine cry — and the beautifully sparse songs sound as if they could’ve fit on Harry Smith’s ‘Anthology of American Folk Music."- CHICAGO TRIBUNE
