Tom Roznowski

Tom Roznowski is a songwriter, a storyteller, a performer, and a singer. He expresses himself creatively in a variety of forms including music, the printed word, broadcast media, and film. He is widely known for his original songs, which he performs live and has presented on four albums. His songs reveal an acute insight into life's twists and ironies and a remarkable ability to translate them into accessible and memorable music. His observations and wit put him in a class with the finest purveyors of Americana and the American song tradition.
As a live performer, Tom Roznowski has shared the stage with a number of artists including John Prine, Lyle Lovett, Richard Thompson, and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.
His original work includes the Hometown series, focused on life in the Midwest during the 1920s. Hometown is comprised of over 450 audio episodes, an Emmy nominated public television special and a book (An American Hometown) published by Indiana University Press. Tom has also written and narrated Memory Chain, an on-going collection of short films with stories based on recently discovered panoramic photographs from the early 20th Century.
Originally from upstate New York, Tom has lived in Indiana most of his adult life. He lives in Bloomington with his wife Trisha. For more information about Tom and his work, visit www.tomroznowski.net
