From the moment he picks up his guitar, Thom Rotella takes us on an intimate journey where every chord tells a story and every solo speaks directly to the listener. His collaborations with legendary artists cover music and entertainment heavy-hitters including Stanley Turrentine, Tommy Tedesco, Frank Sinatra, Burt Bacharach, Bette Midler and others. His compositions have been featured in projects such as Family Guy, The Bachelor, Criminal Minds and The Simpsons. Thom Rotella continues to inspire and innovate on his HighNote Records debut, Side Hustle.
