It’s Been Said…..

“…a musical pedigree that covers Blues through Soul to Jazzy undercurrents and Salsa swelling sounds…an album that screams quality”-Blues Matters (UK) review of “Ace In The Hole” (2016)

“Far from a one man show, Lockwood is generous enough to let his sidemen shine, adding his razor sharp guitar licks in a very judicious and thoughtful manner.”- Scene magazine review of “Ace In The Hole “(2015)

“Tom Lockwood is an exceptional guitar player.”
-Liona Boyd

“He swings when the song calls for it, and he writes tunes
of generous harmonic breadth.”
-Vancouver Sun-Sept. 1997-writing on Tom’s 3rd release-“Ascension”

“He is a highly skilled guitarist who deserves more recognition on the North
American music scene.”
-Don Ross-two time Winfield fingerpicking champ

“World class music with an eclectic bent.”

-London Free Press-writing on Tom’s 2nd release “Streamline”

“Full on solo acoustic guitar pickin’ “
-Guitar Player Magazine (1991)

“ I have great respect for the creative ability and musicianship of Tom Lockwood.”
Mike Francis-30 year recording studio veteran and probably the most
recorded guitarist in Canada.

“ Tom Lockwood skips between musical styles like a stone on water, lending a jazz
twist to original compositions for classical guitar.”
-Words & Music-writing on “Ascension”

“His smooth, dynamic playing should appeal to a wide range of listeners.”
Guitar Player Magazine(1986)

“Wonderful playing.”
-Benjamin Verdery-Guitar department-Yale University

“His pieces are carefully structured and he has a sharp ear for good melodies as
well as the dynamics of his chosen instrument”
-Canadian Composer-writing on Tom’s 1st release “Passion Flower”

“I find Tom Lockwood’s music and his playing to be exceptional.”
David Qualey’ -European virtuoso and Grammy winner

“Hands On is Lockwood’s fourth self produced effort since 1989, and it is his most
challenging effort so far.”
-Windsor Star (2003)

“ A brilliant musician……there isn’t a style of music he hasn’t managed to make
to make his own” -Jurgen Gothe-host of CBC’s Disc Drive

“ One of the standouts is Crystal Silence, a Chick Corea tune……The Latin swagger
of the tune is reflected in some of Lockwood’s own pieces-Straight Up and Another
Road.”
-Windsor Star-writing on Tom’s 5th release “Point of View” (2007)

“A haunting composition, easily comparable to the great guitar compositions of Jim Weider or Gary Moore”-Le Net Blues review of Tom’s composition “Blues For Dom” from the “Common Ground” CD (2011)

“Prime examples of blues,R&B,jazz and more can be found on Lockwood’s excellent 2015 album Ace in the Hole”-James Reaney (London Free Press)
