Title
"Tom Ward" - Singer, Guitarist, Songwriter - Cleveland, Ohio, United States
Description
He taught himself the rudiments of guitar playing at the age of ten to accompany himself in his passion for singing. He was forming his first rock band, as a bass player and as a back-up vocalist, two years later in his hometown of Belleville with three friends.
The band went through several name changes, and member additions, through the next eight years, from The Electric Circus, to The Fog, through Tombstone Shade, and finally Creed (yes the original Creed). Tom withdrew from the band in 1975 after a year on the road while his friends continued to tour Canada and northeastern U.S., with both name changes and band member changes. They achieved success with an LP album with Capitol Records as the popular band "Photograph".
In the meantime, Tom temporarily hung up his guitar and pursued an education in chemistry, ending up in Kingston, Ontario, working in industry. While in Kingston, he renewed his interest in singing, experimenting with "a cappella" singing in both choral and quartet groups, and played principal roles in several theatrical musical productions at Kingston's "Grand Theatre" and "Domino Theatre".
