Tommy Drinkard on SoundBetter

My team & I will lay down quality banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass, or steel guitar parts on your track. What sets me apart? I have a producer's ear. I have produced & arranged strings for many well-known artists and feature films including Tim Armstrong, Travis Barker, Mondo Cozmo, Emmet Furla Films, & more.

My name is Tommy Drinkard. My fans call me Tommy Fingers. I am a stringed instruments player. My specialties are banjo, electric guitar, lapsteel. I also do session singing. I have a network of musicians that can play every instrument you could possibly need!

Artists I have worked for and with directly and indirectly are Katy Perry, Tim Armstrong, Bruce Springsteen, Travis Barker, Mike Hererra, Mondo Cozmo, Jonny West, and countless other artists. I have also composed and arranged string parts in the feature film Out Of Death featuring Bruce Willis. I currently play in up and coming bluegrass/folk band Water Tower Band, and have my own band Tommy Drinkard & the Remedy.

My big credits (except for Jonny West) have all been in the last 6 months so the songs are still in production.

In addition to being a session musician I also am a producer with access to studios, as well as a songwriter.

For a day in the studio, we can do 8 hours with one lunch break. You are welcome to be there in the studio with us over Zoom/FaceTime as well if you can’t be there in person.

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

    Tommy accepted the challenge to bring a MIDI hoedown to life with live instrumentation and I couldn't be happier with the results. Great performances of live guitar, bass, fiddle, and banjo with a bounty of takes to comp from. A+ fellow and experience!

    Tommy is on the money. Give him lyrics and he gives you back a full song. Were pretty lucky to have talent like him and his team available on here. If Tommy isn't famous yet he will be. The best banjo/pedal steel player too. His timing is on the money sonny. nuff said.

    Tommy and his team are awesome! From just my lyrics he produced/mixed/mastered and provided vocals, melody and everything! Nice clean "old school" sound with "REAL instruments", no electronic tempo, etc, Just Banjo, steel guitar, bass, electric guitar, mandolin. It's nice to know that somebody is still keeping it real! Tommy's ear for timing/melody is spot on! History always repeats itself and what was old is new again! Thank God for these guys!!!
