About
Tom Ragland
Tom Ragland writes songs and words that drift somewhere between a dirt road and the sky. Drawing his creativity from the quiet threshold between sleep and waking, he enters other worlds at night, bringing back stories and inspiration from the realms he visits.
Whether with a guitar or a pen, his music is rooted in folk traditions and old hymns, wrapped in a dreamy, open sound. He's chasing the same thing in every song and story: a little stillness, a little grace, and a story worth telling twice.
