Tommy Tutone: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Tommy Tutone

Tommy Tutone is an American rock/pop act rooted in late-1970s power pop, led by singer and rhythm guitarist Tommy Heath, who migrated through Philadelphia, Texas, and Montana before landing in San Francisco during the counterculture era. The band broke nationally with “867-5309/Jenny,” a Top 5 Billboard hit, and earlier placed “Angel Say No” in the Top 40, touring in support slots that sharpened its road-tested sound. In New York City, Tutone appears at The Rooftop at Pier 17 for the Totally Tubular Festival, sharing bills with artists such as Thomas Dolby, A Flock of Seagulls, and The Motels. The performances favor tight songcraft over spectacle.
