Tom Baptist (aka Tune Maker Tom)




Tom Baptist AKA Tunemaker Tom

AKA" Tampa Bay's Smoothest Vocalist" I am a song stylist and keyboardist transplanted from Massachusetts to Tampa in the late '80s.  since then I have been performing as a solo artist as well as the leader of a trio and a quartet from time to time. I have done some light touring throughout New England and parts of  Canada in the past headlining events as well as opening for Kool & The Gang, Vanilla Fudge, Etta James, The Drifters, and others but since the late 90's I have been doing mostly restaurant gigs where I perform mostly these days. That allows me to continue writing and recording more original music.

For my live gigs, I primarily play my interpretation of cover tunes with a mix of original music. I have an extensive catalog now of original music that I like to showcase as often as possible. I have some of my original music recorded and listed with online merchants and sites and lots more yet to be recorded for commercial sale.

As a musician, I am self-taught on vocals, keyboards, and drums. I have done small tours with various size ensembles as a frontman, organist, keyboardist, and drummer. I do not read music, although I am quite familiar with chords and music structure. I have always had an innate sense of music flow. So much so that I was able to solo better than I could find chords. Even now I can hear a foreign or new piece of music and be able to improvise a verbal riff or solo to accompany it.

My vocal style and tone are often compared to Lou Rawls, Nat Cole Billy Eckstine, and other smooth crooners when singing some ballads. I do not try to emulate those legends but I do derive lots of influences from all the masters as I project my unique personal style.

My live performance repertoire has a mix of Jazz, Blues, Pop, Standards, Adult Contemporary, Vocals and Instrumentals, Covers, and originals. The audience I face and gig parameters direct the content (set) mix for the gig.

Here are the complete lyrics.

We All Love Christmas -by Tom Baptist (ASCAP) Publisher Joe’s Boy Music (ASCAP)

We all , we all we all love Christmas We all , we all we all love Christmas

It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas yes that time of year For much happy thoughts and family cheer

Bright blinking lights and sweet memories We all love Christmas

We all , we all we all love Christmas We all , we all we all love Christmas

The trees and the tinsel are hung with great care We share thoughts of loved ones no longer here

We smile with their memories that we hold so dear ‘Cause that’s what we do at this time of year

We all , we all we all love Christmas We all , we all we all love Christmas

And though it all happens but once a year We’re giddy with joy and tremble with fear

About who’ll be miffed, If we get the wrong gift But we all love Christmas

We all , we all we all love Christmas We all , we all we all love Christmas

Shoppers all chasing that last minute get Children are dreaming what they don’t have yet

The sounds of the season are filling the air ‘Cause we all love Christmas

We all , we all we all love Christmas We all , we all we all love Christmas

The past year is fading , the New Year is nigh We pass out the presents and happily sigh

It’s goodness and music we cherish so much ’Cause we all love Christmas

We all , we all we all love Christmas We all , we all we all love Christmas

We all , we all we all love Christmas

Merry Christmas Everybody

Jesus Ayala Jr.


 


Jesus Ayala Jr., hailing from Chicago, armed with an American White Fender Stratocaster aims to relive the glory days of early-2000’s Garage Rock/Indie Rock/Post-Punk Revival era. His music is in the same vain as that from The Strokes, The Killers, The Vaccines, Weezer, and Arctic Monkeys. “I’m nostalgic for the nights that people went out to smoke cigarettes, drink cheap beer, and listen to rock bands. The scene changed on me when I was old enough to go out, so I hope we can recreate that” Ayala Jr. stated.

Jesus Ayala Jr. is no stranger to indie-rock anthems, having performed with bands The Charters and The Fevertones. The Charters won the Hollywood Songwriting Contest for ‘It’s a Lonely Christmas’ and performed two sold-out shows at their height in Chicago. The Fevertones have also performed countless festivals and been described “as the love child of Cold War Kids and Led Zeppelin” by bloggers. Ayala Jr has also quietly released an acoustic solo project that sparked his interest in a solo career. “You can’t let songs collect dust while you wait for the right time or band, which is why I started releasing music on my own” he stated.
