He recently performed live on Fox News and the music video for his debut single WON a California Music Video Award for Best Rock Video in early 2024. Tom Breton's journey began In the spring of 2021 when he turned a shuttle bus into a mobile stage. That summer he played 80 outdoor shows, 53 of which were part of a national tour completed in 25 days.

Upon the completion of the Carol Tour (the name of the bus) Tom finished writing his debut album and started recording the songs INSIDE the bus. The results were so good he believed his bias was clouding his judgment but after getting the thumbs up from his "No-BS" mixing engineer, he finished recording an entire album. Tom released his debut single "Come Down" in October 2023 and his highly anticipated debut album is expected to drop later in 2024. Tom has also previously worked with Juno-nominee (The Glorious Sons) John-Angus MacDonald of The Trews and has shared the stage with international acts such as Pop Evil, The Blue Stones, and Sloan.
