Musician ~ Vocalist ~ Performer ~ Songwriter ~ Producer

Tom Krol has been entertaining audiences since his first public performance in 1977 as a young solo guitarist winning first place at a music competition at Chicago’s McCormick Place. He is a classically-trained multi-instrumtalist, a trained vocalist, and has perfect musical pitch.

Tom has been one of the 5 top-call freelance professional union guitarists for Chicago music houses and live orchestras at society events. He has been recorded in studios in Los Angeles, Nashville, and Chicago.

As an “eclectic classical rocker,” Tom sings and plays classical, acoustic, and electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, clarinet, and piano.

Tom’s credits include Microsoft's HALO 2 video game soundtrack, collaboration and recording in Nashville, Los Angeles, Atlantic Records, a live concert on Chicago’s WFMT music radio, and numerous commercials on TV and radio as a studio session musician.

In addition to scoring and recording his own music for commercials for TV, radio and internet, Tom has performed guitar and sung with most every society-event live music orchestra in Chicagoland since 1987.

Tom is also a music producer and accomplished sound engineer who first recorded his music performances on multitrack at age 12. His sound studio features the latest MAC-based Pro Tools HDX system for recording, editing, mixing and mastering.
