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.
