Release: Tommy Dardar “Big Daddy Gumbo”All involved have come together and donated their time and efforts to share Tommy’s music and help support his family. So please share his music and spread the word.
The death of Tommy Dardar stunned the blues community and left a void that will never be filled. His 1999 release, "Fool for Love," served notice to the world what his family, friends, and fans had known for years: that Tommy was an extremely gifted songwriter, a powerful vocalist, and one of the finest harp players on the Gulf Coast.
With his untimely death, many feared that release would be his last. He had begun work on a follow-up project in 2001, but financial considerations and life have a funny way of showing up and putting the best laid plans on the back burner. His closest friends and musical cohorts were aware of these unfinished recordings and under-took the effort to see that they were not left on a shelf to gather dust.
