The TJ Walker Band if fronted by Shoreham's Tom Walker but had to change his name because of the woolly-hatted, bearded pop star with the same name! He has recently supported Nik Kershaw, Big Country, The Hanging Stars, Sam Lewis and Clearwater Creedance Revival and this is his first headline show with his full band. (Mike Drinkwater - Keys, Beau Barnard - Bass and Ralph Millington -Drums).

TJ Walker has released 2 albums of original material, ranging in genre from Americana, Country, Blues and Classic Rock. He's a much in demand session and live guitarist with a popular Youtube channel about all things music and guitar nerdery!

He has been featured as the "One to Watch" in Maverick, Europe's biggest Country Music Magazine. He has composed music for TV, Film and Radio (credits including the Radio 1 Live Lounge theme, BBC 6 Music Themes (Craig Charles, Steve Lemacq, Lauren Laverne, Mark Riley), Virgin Radio, Smooth Radio, Heart and TV themes on ABC in Australia). He also wrote and arranged pieces for Trinity College London for their acoustic guitar syllabus.

The highlight of Tom's guitar playing career was playing "Whole Lotta Love" in front of Jimmy Page. Afterwards Tom met Jimmy, apologised to him for having to listen to someone else playing his song to him, to which Jimmy replied, "It was quite good actually!!"
