Tom VonLuk recently returned to Maine to round out the original lineup and bring his high-energy theatrics, tight grooves and cookie-monster vocals to The Hailing Tides. As a multi-instrumentalist and Pretty Cool Guy™️, His “Jack of all Trades” mentality has provided him with a steady supply of fill-in work over the years when he isn’t working on solo projects. Notably, Tom played drums in FUKM, guitar and drums for The Hoodslam Band, guitar for Oinga Boinga, and of course playing drums for his 2-piece metal band, Diatomaceous Earth. Tom also plays cello, mandolin, and dulcimer, among other instruments.
An avid enjoyer of things, Tom insists he enjoys all genres of music, all flavors of food, and all varieties of booze. Many know Tom for his iconic introduction, “Hi I’m Tom!” and the fact that he is still breathing. Outside of music, Tom competes in an APA pool league, and while he no longer competes at a tournament level, Tom still actively practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
