Tommy Bolin



August 1, 1951 / December 4, 1976

Tommy was a very gifted Guitarist who had a major impact on his fans and peers alike, just ask Glenn Hughes.

Tommy Bolin died from a Heroin overdose on December 4, 1976 at aged 25 in a Miami Hotel after opening for Jeff Beck.

Tommy`s performances have been recorded on several live albums and a lot of compilations but I suggest avoiding those and stick with his studio work....In my opinion Tommy`s 1976`s "Private Eyes" is his very best.
