From Woody Guthrie to Bad Bunny and all in between, I've always been inspired by artists who use their platform to promote a more just, peaceful and equitable world. As Bertolt Brecht put it, 'Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.'
—Tom Garfield
Tom Garfield is a lifelong community artist/activist supporting the work of urban schools, community agencies, and cultural organizations. Inspired by a literal mosaic of progressive influences, his heart lies in world change, not in meshing with any current cultural fashion. His latest single “Greed" is a scathing indictment of the status quo, showcasing him as a rare truth-teller speaking against monolithic obstacles.
“Greed" is a 4-track EP in the spirit of classic artists like Bob Dylan, who has no issue with calling out authority at any turn. The music is folk rock-based, with a whispery rasp of bold and brave ringing out over raw, deep life experience and musicality. Garfield is, without a doubt, an everyman who stands for the voiceless—the lyricism is boundless, uncensored and motivational at it's core.
