Tom Cheatham is a Dallas native and Lakewood local who has picked, strummed and fought his way through the Texas music scene one dive bar at a time. After living in Austin, TX for 5 years, music became an important part of Cheatham’s life. He moved back to Dallas and began writing songs and pursuing his craft at local venues.

Scars That I’ll Keep shows a newfound maturity in Tom’s style and potentially marks a turning point in the relative newcomer’s burgeoning career. He has managed to stay true to his craft, with intelligent and inspiring lyrics, while also redefining his sound. The result is an eclectic but harmonious collection that doesn’t strictly belong to the Texas or “Red Dirt” scene, but fits perfectly in the ever broadening genre.

Keep an eye out for Tom Cheatham’s new album which drops on July 29th.
