Tom Gilberts

You will not find a more enthusiastic music lover than Tom Gilberts. It is his passion and obsession. It is from this perspective that he approaches his writing, performance and production - the pure joy of it.


He was born the youngest of three boys into a musically-gifted family. His father was a multi-instrumentalist, his mother a gifted pianist, and two older brothers are a guitarist and drummer. His grandfather played just about any string instrument and his grandmother played piano. His uncle is a jazz saxophonist, and his cousins play. He remembers family jam sessions with up to 15-20 people crammed into one room playing. His oldest brother, Dave, started teaching him to play guitar by ear around the age of 5. He has been playing ever since - now over 40 years. He learned to play music just like he learned to speak and considers music a native language.

Music has been a constant through all the different phases of his life. He has intentionally protected his passion and love for music from professional demands and influences. Tempted on multiple occasions to venture into the professional music scene, he chose medicine as his career. He is board-certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine and practices medicine on a full-time basis.

His newest album “Tumbleweed “ will be released in late 2022 on Polymerase Records.
