Simply Six: Tom Fuller Band

For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer.  For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later.  Is there such a defining moment for you?

I THINK MY MOMENT WAS AN EVOLVING THING. PROBABLY THAT CRITICAL THING THAT GOT ME, WAS WHEN I WROTE A TUNE AND GOT AN EMAIL MONTHS LATER AFTER I HAD RECORDED IT. IT WAS FROM SOMEONE I DIDN'T KNOW, WHO EXPRESSED HOW THE SONG HELPED HIM GET OVER A DEEP HURT AND GAVE HIM THE FREEDOM TO REJOIN LIFE. I KNEW THEN, THAT I WAS ON A MISSION. WITH ONE FAN AT A TIME.

When you’re not creating music what are you listening to?  I'M ALL OVER THE MAP. I LISTEN TO NEW AND OLD. Who are some of your favorites? 

LITTLE FEAT, KLAATU, OASIS, OTIS DAY AND THE KNIGHTS, CHEAP TRICK.

What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live? 

RECORDING WITH PAUL MCCARTNEY GUYS, PLAYING THE CAVERN CLUB IN LIVERPOOL, ANYTIME I GO INTO THE STUDIO OR GO ON STAGE WITH MY MATES.

Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? 

ABSOLUTELY. CAN ALSO HEAL PEOPLE BESIDES THE WORLD. How much can music influence current events? I DONT KNOW, BUT I KNOW IT CAN HELP. 

How has technology affected the music industry?  

ON ONE HAND MADE IT EASIER, ON ONE HAND DESTROYED IT.How has technology affected your career as a musician? I KEEP LEARNING NEW TRICKS. HAVE A HARD ENOUGH TIME STAYING CURRENT.:)

Now for my Barbara Walters question:  If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be? 

IF ITS WARM OUT, PROBABLY FLIPS. SIMPLE AND EASY. IF ITS COLD, BOOTS OR CHUCK TAYLORS.
