Thom Golub lives and plays in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He started playing string bass professionally about a decade ago and has never looked back. Around this period he rediscovered a fondness and aptitude for composing music. He started with what was native to his experience – jazz and improvisation. As years went on he became very interested in writing classical or “New Music.” For the last five years he has pursued this avenue and received performances and recordings by local, national and international artists.

As a bass player he has worked in duos with vocalists, guitarists, saxophonists and even drummers and harpists. He has played in big bands, Latin jazz ensembles and classical orchestras. He has been a ‘pit’ musician for a number of musical theatre productions from Canada and abroad. Thom is happy to be the newest member of le fuzz – a multinational music machine featuring songs from around the world. He leads the Alterations band and co-leads New music improvisation project The TIN Naked Band.

Among artists who have consistently championed Thom’s music one finds such outstanding soloists and ensembles as flautist Isabelle Schnšller (Switzerland), pianist Sylvia Shadick Taylor (Canada), Duo Levent (Harry Sparnaaij, bass clarinet and Silvia Sparnaaij Castillo, organ; The Netherlands), clarinettist Don Ross and his St. Crispin’s Chamber Ensemble (Canada), trombonist Ken Read (Canada) and the Strathcona String Quartet (Canada).
