Out now: 'From Here to Here' from Sixties hitmaker Tommy Roe

American Singer/Songwriter Tommy Roe had several top hits in the 60’s and 70’s starting in 1962 with “Sheila.” That same year Tommy headlined a British Tour with Chris Montez – their warmup band was called, The Beatles.

After that tour other hits followed, “Everybody” (1963) “The Folk Singer” (1964), “Sweet Pea” (1966) “Hooray for Hazel” (1966), Worldwide #1 “Dizzy” (1969)” and “Jam Up and Jelly Tight” (1970). Tommy also wrote other hits for other artists.

He continued to write throughout the 1970s-2000’s. Many times with songwriting partners Mac Davis and Freddy Weller of Paul Revere and The Raiders fame. Tommy’s catalog continues to be recorded by artists worldwide.

This new album called “From Here to Here” is a collection of new songs produced by Michael Franklin. Tommy and Michael have been lifelong friends and the band on many of the tracks, Paul Parker, Tim Franklin and Michael Franklin, were in Tommy’s touring band for many years. Four of the songs were originally recorded in 2012. “Devil’s Soul Pile” went to #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts. Charlie DeChant, known for his longtime stint with the Hall & Oates band, does harmonica on “Kick Me Charlie” and sax on “Traffic Jam.” Roe even cover's “If I Were A Carpenter” by Tim Hardin.
