Tom Letson and The Letdown
Drawing on influence from prewar Piedmont & Hill-Country Blues, Appalachian Mountain Music, and alternative rock, Tom Letson and The Letdown can be heard in the Northwest, up and down Cascadia, at many a venue and festival featuring acoustic roots music, ringing out on resonator guitar and clawhammer banjo, accompanied by his brother on percussion, pouring forth original songs.
Tom Letson is a musician and visual artist who’s been hurlin’ songs into the vast expanse for over 10 years. Early on, he felt a humble calling to follow in the footsteps of musical pioneer Woody Guthrie, setting off to each crack and crevice of the United States by freight train & thumb.
He eventually landed up in Alaska, where he spent the better part of his 20s living remotely, and continues splitting his seasons there. This alternative lifestyle is a key ingredient behind the inspiration of his songwriting.
