Thom Bresh (born February 23, 1948 in Southern California, USA)〔(IMDb )〕 is a country music singer. He is the biological son of Merle Travis.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=dhzODxO9i8kC&pg=PA100&dq=%22thom+bresh%22+%22merle+travis%22&hl=en&ei=U3kzToHnLKvC0AGzmtyYDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22thom%20bresh%22%20%22merle%20travis%22&f=false〕 Bresh did not begin his music career until his adult years. From age 3 to age 17, he worked as an actor and stuntman at Corriganville, where such programs as ''The Lone Ranger'' and the ''Billy the Kidd'' trilogy were filmed.〔(Thom's Early Years )〕 He later gained stage experience singing, doing impressions and playing guitar in a country-pop lounge band led by Hank Penny, an old friend of Travis's. Finger-picking in the style made famous by Travis, he brings the Travis legacy to new audiences. Bresh is a singer, songwriter, impressionist, and instrumentalist, whose instrument of choice is his custom-made two-sided Langejans SuperDualette (see photo at right), which he calls "my band." He has performed alongside performers ranging from Bob Hope to Chet Atkins to Gordon Lightfoot. Bresh hosted a weekly television variety show of his own creation, ''Nashville Swing'', has been a regular on the Merv Griffin Show and Dinah, and made a guest appearance on the TNN special ''A Salute to the Country Greats''. As a producer, he has been employed by Country legend Jerry Reed, Classical guitarist Valerie DuChateau, and Merle Travis. As a videographer, Bresh has shot, produced, and edited projects for Hank Thompson, Lyle Lovett, Brooks & Dunn, George Jones, Tanya Tucker and Jerry Reed.〔(Thom Bresh's official biography )〕 ==Awards and nominations== *Grammy Award nomination: Merle Travis album ''Travis Pickin (producer) *Academy Award nomination: ''Over You'' (theme song from movie ''Tender Mercies'') *Wine Lord title bestowed by World Wine Council, Bordeaux, France *Wine Lord title bestowed by World Wine Council, Patrimonio, Corsica *National Thumbpickers Hall of Fame inductee - 2001 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thom Bresh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
