Meet TOMMY KAELIN. TOMMY KAELIN is a drummer/ songwriter and singer for the well known band called, THE HATTERS. They were signed to Atlantic Records in the 1990’s and they released 3 albums and had regular airplay throughout the U.S.

He also played in a band called, GENT TREADLY which featured The Tubes/The Dead keyboard player, Vince Welnick [RIP]. There are numerous musicians that played on the 12 song CD, all of which Tommy played in bands with over the years.

A few of the musicians are: BUDDY CAGE: Pedal steel guitar; TREE ADAMS: Lead vocals, guitar; BILLY JAY STEIN: Keyboards: JON KAPLAN: Bass and TOMMY KAELIN: Drums. This CD was Produced by Tommy Kaelin, Mastered by Alex Saltz and Mixed by Jono Manson.

COLOURED RAIN kicks off this CD with a great groove with a Grateful Dead feel that will capture your heart and soul within minutes.This song is quite catchy to your ears. THE VAN SONG is laid back as Buddy Cage does the vocals to this song. The melody is quite strong as the lead guitar keeps whispering in your ear. This song will get in your head very easily.

SWEET RETURN is quite funky with a great melody that will have you grooving to it from the very first intro. This song is a real standout, so turn it up loud. SALVADOR is all drums being featured throughout this song close until the end. I must admit, this song would make Santana proud and then some. Check it out.

LAY YOURSELF DOWN has a CSN & Y feel with great harmonies and a great melody that will stay with you for a while.This song is for the ‘true hippies’ out there that will always want love, peace and happiness in the world. This song is a must to hear.

THE MARBY DUBE SONG brings this great CD to end. This a sweet, short reggae song to ‘inhale’ too and it’s bound to make you happy. I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Tommy Kaelin for being in touch.
