Tommy Rebel and the Righteous
Centered in the vibrant live music scene in Austin, Texas, Tommy Rebel and the Righteous is a power rock trio that combines guitar-driven rhythms with smoky vocals, and stinging riffs into an electric live performance. Sonically, our influences emanate from the late 60’s and 70’s, but our music stands on its own two feet ... somehow familiar and fresh at the same time.
At the core of our band is Tommy Rebel … who was born in North Carolina and raised in Southern California, Tommy has been defying the odds since he was young. At age 7, he contracted a severe ear infection that left him totally deaf in his left ear and with only 40% hearing in his right ear. Yet, he has been creating music all of his life as a front man and solo artist, and has opened for world-renowned artists such as Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, and Joan Jett to name a few, He also had a hit single with his band in the early 80’s that was reviewed by Billboard magazine and led to a deal with Scavenger records
After taking some time away from recording music, Tommy re-emerged on the Texas music scene in 2015 as a solo artist and joined up with Rollie White on drums and Naer Lin on bass to form Tommy Rebel and the Righteous in 2018. We have released 3 CDs and a 4th one is in the works!
