Tom House
Tom House was born and raised in Durham, NC. He moved to Nashville,
TN in the early 70's and has loosely been based there ever since.
He's had hundreds of poems published in scurrilous little mags
all over the world. He edited and published raw bone magazine
(which was as suspect as any of them) from 1982-88. He is also
a singer-songwriter who has performed mostly in the South for
the last 25 years. He has released an independent cassette of
his songs, inside these walls and four CD's, two on Checkered
Past and two on Catamount, both labels out of Chicago. His latest,
Jesus Doesn't Live Here Anymore has received some fine
press and was included on a number of year-end best-of lists.
He has also collaborated on a number of musical adaptions of
literary works, including an opera based on the first chapter
of William Faulkner's Light in August, song cycles based
on Faulkner's As I Lay Dying and Connie May Fowler's Remembering
Blue, and the songs for a play based on Lee Smith's Fair
& Tender Ladies," which will be presented in its
4th and 5th productions this summer in Lexington, VA and Marietta,
GA. He is also featured on a CD of some of those songs with co-writers,
Tommy Goldsmith and Karren Pell, which has just come out in a
2nd printing. Click
