Woodie Guthrie said a man should know his country like the back of his hand. Tom Vandenavond is a contemporary ghost with a wisdom in his music that exceeds his years. His sound embodies the nature of solitary travel and the inevitable connections made from a life on the road. He seems to take notes from the Ramblin Jack Eliot handbook. A bit of a maverick, he's also not afraid of the odd, straight job painting signs or slingin' beer. He is part John Prine and a bit of Mark Twain. A great act to catch when he flies solo. But there is a great deal of magic in the company he keeps on his albums, as there is here with Larry and His Flask providing the supporting cast. Originally from Wisconsin, but now calling Austin home, Tom Vandenavond brings the perfect follow-up to his critically-acclaimed 2012 set WRECK OF a FINE MAN. ENDTIMES with Larry and His Flask further establishes VandenAvond's reputation for brilliant songwriting delivered with a potent kick.
