Tom Caraher, a tenor saxophonist born in Bangkok, Thailand in 1990, has crafted a rich and dynamic career that bridges continents and musical traditions.

Pursuing his love for music, Tom earned a bachelor’s degree in saxophone performance at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, studying under legendary mentors like George Garzone, Frank Tiberi, and Hal Crook.
