Tommy Boynton - second part, guitar


          TOMMY BOYNTON sings 2nd tenor and plays guitar.  Growing up in Aurora, CO, his musical journey began in the 3rd grade, singing in a children’s chorus, and studying piano and drums.  Tommy’s love for music lead him to Phil Mattson’s prestigious School for Music Vocations in Creston, Iowa.  He then graduated from the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA, where he studied with Dominique Eade and Ran Blake.  Boynton continued to share his love and passion for music by returning to SMV to teach.  Tommy has shared the stage with several Grammy nominated musicians, including jazz pianist Fred Hersch, and critically acclaimed jazz vocalist Kate McGarry.  While on the road, he does miss his kitties, Alice and Little Brother, more than anything.
