“CANYON DREAMS”
THE NEW SINGLE - OUT NOW EVERYWHERE!
Tom Braxton hails from west Texas, Lubbock to be exact. Right behind his boyhood home on the east side is a beautiful canyon with a large lake. Tom sought to capture the calm and relaxing vista from his back porch overlooking the canyon. He hopes that his lilting melody on the soprano sax and the infectious groove will inspire the listener to reflect and dream. Daran DeShazo adds just the right seasoning of acoustic guitar to the musical fabric. This single along with Tom's first one, Hub City Jam, pays tribute to his roots and formative years on the Great Plains.The upcoming album, FlashBack, contains material that reflects Tom's past through the lens of his contemporary smooth jazz perspective. The listener will be looking back and grooving forward!
