"Outstanding ... this young New Yorker is emerging as a star.
Mr. Andersen sings in a delicate tenor that soars into exquisite
high notes. Dreamy, hyper-romantic crooning. When he gets caught
up in the emotional swirl of a pop ballad, he slips into a vocal
swoon. The timbre of his voice quickens, and one is reminded of
Johnny Mathis in one of his spellbound musical trances!"
- Stephen Holden
The New York Times
"Simply
the finest male vocalist in town. He's got a voice of pure gold,
and there's not a male singer in New York who comes near Tom Andersen
in the charm department. He's also becoming a helluva songwriter.
Keep an eye on this guy!"
- Eric Myers
Time Out New York
"Tom
Andersen, whose 'Far Away Places' CD is wowing 'em cross country,
has a way with lyrics that is simply dreamy. Among the famed who
have sung his praises are Stephen Sondheim, Rosemary Clooney and
Michael Feinstein!"
- Marilyn Beck
Tribune Media Service
"A
major, young singer who's blessed with a superb vocal instrument.
He sings his own songs and evergreens with heart, and his pure,
clear, jubilant tones are something to savor!"
- Chip Deffaa
New York Post
"When
I saw Tom at the Algonquin, the crowd went wild. He is going to
be a big, big star. He's got a golden voice like Johnny Mathis.
What a sound! And his CD is a winner!"
- Joe Franklin

"One
of the most beautiful voices in the clubs belongs to Tom Andersen.
He's a pop crooner who paints a rainbow of musical nuance. He
moves easily among pop, rock and country and sounds at home with
each style!"
- David Hinckley
New York Daily News
"With
his mellifluous tenor, this MAC Award-winner could probably sing
the Manhattan phone directory in Gregorian chant and get away
with it. And if you've heard his CD, 'Far Away Places,' you know
he records like an angel!"
- John Hoglund
Back Stage
"A
major discovery. A strong tenor of unusual range and clarity,
with great style and beauty. He is a fresh, natural talent who
deserves a turn at any microphone in town!"
- Joseph Koenenn
New York Newsday
"Here
is the rare young performer who says more with a few hushed tones
than many of his colleagues do at full tilt. His haunting, original
song 'Yard Sale' is a tour de force. It addresses the tragedy
of AIDS without so much as mentioning the word. That's the mark
of a first-class songwriter!"
- Howard Reich
Chicago Tribune
"Tom
Andersen has moved beyond being a sensitive singer with an extraordinary
tenor voice to become a genuine entertainer. His act is virtually
one scintillating song after another, from the enthusiasm of Irving
Berlin's "Let Yourself Go" to the thrilling drama of Nan Knighton/Frank
Wildhorn's "Storybook," an outright showstopper. Most exciting
to see and hear, however, is his growth as a songwriter. His poignant,
new song 'Yard Sale' is a brilliantly written and performed work
of art. We'd hear Tom Andersen sing anytime and anywhere!"
- Scott and Barbara Siegel
Drama-Logue
"Tom
is responsible for the success of my song 'Storybook.' And not
only is he an extraordinary singer, he's also a truly pure and
good and giving human being. And he's got a great sense of humor.
Oh, and by the way, he's gorgeous. Go hear him sing now. Often.
Right now, there is only one Tom Andersen CD, but I wish he could
immediately record 10 or 12 more. But buy it anyway. It's called
'The Journey' and you'll fly right along with him from the first
cut to the last. Don't let another day go by without Tom Andersen
in your life."
- Nan Knighton

"Passion, style and grace ... Tom has it all!"

Composer

"Tom's got an amazingly pure voice, and he's an excellent songwriter.
His CD 'The Journey' demonstrates why he's one of the very best!"
