Your Gracious Host

Bursting onto the national indie music scene in 1999 as the drummer for the Chicago based Autoliner, Tom Curless has been a life long musician and devotee of popular music since he was big enough to walk. After the break up of Autoliner, Tom played in a few more Chicago based bands (Window 9, Turnpike Down) all the while writing songs on his own. When he packed up and moved to Michigan in 2005 he got the idea to create Your Gracious Host as a vehicle to release the backlog of material he had been collecting. The result was a self titled debut 2 CD collection released in 2008 which amassed four years of recordings.
