TOMMY BRUNSON of HOLY WATER BUFFALO

Born in 1989 in Salt Lake City, Utah, when he was three he used to record songs on his toy cassette player. After ten years of forced yet needed piano lessons, he started the band Holy Water Buffalo, where he’s currently the frontman and main songwriter. Holy Water Buffalo played countless shows in Utah and the United States, opening for bands as Cold War Kids, Dawes, and The Mother Hips, and releasing their first album in 2011. They also played for six editions of the Sundance Film Festivals, always too busy with the shows to really enjoy the screenings. Tommy recently moved to Los Angeles, where he has just completed a music residency in Hollywood and is finalizing the next Holy Water Buffalo record.
