"It was a pleasure to hear you, great sound, great tunes, fine playing. I liked that you're trying lots of different things to see what works and feels the best. I thought the improv pieces were especially effective, you played those with a lot of intensity and feeling."
Paul Hintz
Guitarist

"An elegant guitarist...a wide variety of sounds from classical to bossa nova and jazz...at home solo or playing lead in an ensemble. A gentle human being with a heart of gold that resonates with every note. A rising star, he is sure to be the leader of a new generation of guitarists who bring warmth, rhythm and bright tones to the Twin Cities music scene."

"Tom Nordlund is an exceptionally talented guitarist that positively impacts audiences and musicians alike. Tom has much to contribute musically - whether performing solo, in small groups, or with larger groups. He is one of those rare musicians that can swing, funk, and rock. Tom has his personal skills together. He is always prepared and shows up on time for not only gigs, but rehearsals as well. He is a joy to work with and his compositions are interesting to hear and play. In short, he has it all. I'm convinced that Tom will be on the first call list in no time."

"Tom is an outstanding guitarist and musician, comfortable in multiple genres of music and is a keen listener in a group. I have played with him for a number of years in a variety of settings and have always been glad he is on the gig. He is extremely reliable and early for deadlines and dates. He would be a valuable asset to anyone seeking a professional guitarist and a hard worker. Tom is determined to find the means to be successful in any situation and is highly resourceful in both musical performance and the business end of entertainment. Tom is also a strong individual with a clean background, and will remain my first-call guitarist whenever possible."
