Singer, Bandleader, Entertainer

Since making his mark on the music scene with his 2005 debut album “Introducing: Myself” Tom Gaebel, the man with the unmistakable voice, has shown that he is here to stay. No other entertainer in Germany combines the slick and energetic big band sound with fluid “easy listening” melodies.
Brought up as the 2nd oldest of 4 brothers his formative years were spent playing music. His early classical music education included “glockenspiel”, flute, singing in a boys’ choir and violin lessons. At the age of 14 he discovered the drums, at 17 the trombone and finally, in his mid-20’s, he found his true calling as a singer.

After studying trombone, drums and jazz singing in Amsterdam, he moved to Cologne and founded his first Big Band, Tom Gaebel & His Orchestra. Ever since, Tom Gaebel & His Orchestra have been inspiring and entertaining German and international audiences wherever and whenever they perform on stage.

His last 7 albums, with famous evergreens next to affectionate songs and own compositions, were all awarded with the German Jazz Award.
He is not only a known and welcomed guest in German TV, furthermore his songs are also used regularly for advertisements and films.

But above all Tom Gaebel sings right into the heart of his audience during his live concerts. For the 100th birthday of Frank Sinatra in 2015, Tom fulfilled himself a dream and he started touring through Germany with his orchestra in honor of his idol “Ol' Blue Eyes” – with the program called “Tom Gaebel sings Sinatra”.

Since 2016 he sets musical monuments for great movie heroes – from James Bond to Rocky Balboa. The show is called „Licence to Swing“ and with a lot of good mood Tom swings through songs like “Goldfinger” or “Eye of the Tiger”.

For years the Christmas concerts have also been fixed calendar dates for his fans. The month of December is all under the topic “A Swinging Christmas”. Together with his orchestra Tom tours through Germany and, next to famous evergreens, he fulfills song requests from the audience and presents many musical gifts.

In the late summer of 2018 he released his 8th studio album “Perfect Day”.

As 2019 was no doubt the year of touring and of many live-shows, Tom and his musicians are already looking forward to 2020: Tom Gaebel & His Orchestra will turn 15 years and of course this jubilee must be celebrated!
