Tom MacLear • The award winning career of Singer-Songwriter Tom MacLear has finally found flight after a 30 year career in the 'back room corporate-world' of Ghost Writing for some of the biggest names in the industry. With his steady flow of hit radio releases since 2010, he has topped numerous charts and radio playlists in Country, HOT/AC and Alternative genres alike_ Making him a new hot commodity in this world of cookie-cutter music packages of late. Tom is a living legacy of the Southern California Country Rock Boom of the '70s. MacLear transplanted rolls from his work with British artists in the '70s & 80s while residing in Los Angeles during the historic formative years of the L.A. Country Rock Boom. MacLear was a Ghost Writer, Producer, Multi-Instrumentalist and touring artist for and with such acts as Emmylou Harris/Hot Band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and many others.
