Tom Bevan is a dynamic, vital guitarist from Fountain Valley (Orange County), California (USA) who describes his style as rock, jazz fusion, folk, as documented on his latest release, "Clazz".  His guitars of choice include a Fender Strat and a Gibson 335 hollow body. Bevan has played guitar since 1966, and openly affirms his career goal, "Put out a solo CD and keep teaching. Already done enough touring."
When requested to name his preferred effect for the guitar, Bevan responded with, "Reverb," and submitted his musicial goals, "Continued work on my compositional efforts. Help bring the guitar out of the three chord rock syndrome is keeps falling into, create and improvise melodic content that lets the instrument stand out on its own and be noticed as more than a noise box the record industry can use to sell more records. " He would like to someday study production and recording engineering, and is currently listening to Steely Dan and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (the list goes on and on). His greatest satisfaction? "Live playing when it's tight, funky and it grooves," he states indisputably.
 Bevan notes ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "Currently with the Big Shots, a jump swing/blues band. More work with Razz."
Bevan's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes one recording project (Razz "Clazz").
