Jabbering Trout

Jabbering Trout is a killah live act with memorable original songs.

They began their trajectory in the 90s in Boston, MA. They were a high-energy, two-person, drum and guitar duo. They started out in the thriving local acoustic scene, won Boston’s Acoustic Underground competition, and were off and running, touring clubs and playing festivals nationally.

Trout has played in front of 1000s opening up for acts like Aerosmith, Dave Matthews Band, Jeff Buckley (RIP), Ani Difranco — and many more. But their native environment was rock and acoustic clubs across the country where, night after night, they delivered their solid, catchy songs with energy. They became headline acts in cities as disparate as Austin, TX, New York, NY, and of course their home base Boston, MA.

The band put out two albums which were well received and reviewed in newspapers, magazines and fanzines across the country. In the early 00s, Tom moved back to his native New York City where he was signed as a solo act by producer John Alagia (John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, etc). The resulting album was ultimately picked up by Tomato Records.

Jabbering Trout had many incarnations after the original band broke up. The common theme is solid, catchy songwriting delivered live with energy.
