"As the crowd
danced, and sang, and shouted, Tom riffs and ripples through stories and songs,
ballads and funky one-man jams, personal greetings and other on-the-spot lyric
changes, doing all he could to make his audience feel at home"
SoundCheck magazine
"The guy is funny, and he's singing about exactly what's happening to all of us
right this second."
Boston Phoenix
"...the crowd was immediately suspicious. Here, in one of
the hippest comedy rooms in town, was a hippie with a bass guitar, not even the
standard acoustic guitar. Then Bianchi started playing... the crowd laughed...
By the time he finished, he had them singing along."
Nick Zaino - The Boston Globe
"Tom Bianchi keeps the pulse around the city's clubs and subways, adapting
to the environment of each."
Matt Robinson - Boston Metro
"...few people can bring as much open-hearted fun to the bass as Tom Bianchi."
SoundCheck Magazine
...on street performing....
"You can't help it: you laugh, and you're forced to notice that other people
are laughing with you. Your day is getting better exactly when it was not supposed
to, and you are involuntarily drawn into a kind of communion with all the other
people on the platform for whom the same thing is happening. Other street musicians
cannot do this: galvanize a bunch of lonely, bored people into a community with
nothing in common except the stupid, involuntary grin creeping across their faces.
You even feel a little disappointed when the train comes."
The Boston Phoenix Best Boston, Editors' Choices
"Bianchi has become a popular character, possessing a special something that
keeps even cute B.C. Girls waiting past two or three trains."
