Tommy Carroll is a totally blind Chicago-based drummer / composer / producer seeking to create the soundtrack to a more inclusive world. Described by the Chicago Reader as a workhorse drummer, he has performed nationally with rock bands, jazz combos, rappers, and singers of everything from bluegrass to soul. In his own music, Tommy builds emotive grooves and weaves them together with harmonic and sonic blueprints that allow performers to bring their own voices to the table.
Tommy’s forthcoming album, Dances for Different Bodies, Vol. I, is a tribute to disability culture that uses rhythms of modern dance music as a template for group improvisation. The project was supported by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events’ Individual Artists Program and will consist of three volumes to be released in 2021 and 2022.
“I want to empower, not inspire,” Tommy says. “I want to create art that celebrates the important perspectives and skills disabled people offer to society.”
