I'm a big movie star.The
“Truth” commercial I'm in has taken on quite a life of its own. Okay, maybe I'm not a big movie star, but you can see my commercial on a slew of DVDs from There Will Be Blood to Semi-Pro. And they said I wasn't versatile. The commercial also won various awards including a
Bronze at the advertising portion of the Cannes Film Festival, was featured on NBC’s Today Show as one of the best ads of the
year andincluded in the
Museum of Modern Art’s permanent media archive (all classy-like).Finally, it was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding
Commercial!This is incredibly
prestigious, as only 5-7 spots get nominated per year.I speak for both of us when I saw we're humbled and honored.Very, very cool.
New Album
update…I’ve written over 40 songs for the new album- it’s
morphed into a different theme/focus a few times over the past year.I think the resulting album is shaping up to be a really special
follow-up to RadioPlay- and what the hell- I’ll have plenty of unreleased tracks laying
around for a box set someday.Anyway, I’m slaving away on some of the catchiest, craziest stuff
I’ve ever written- can’t wait to share it with you.
You
can see me on Comedy Central, MTV, FOX, BET and a mess o' places- I'm the guitar playin' singin' cowboy in the
national Truth commercial. It even wound up being Talk Soup's
"Clip of the Week" on E!. Here it
is...and there are a few pics from the shoot below (Cheers,
Tommy).
