Tommy Mara’s career does not just encompass oldies music, he has lent his vocal genius to several bands throughout the years.

After moving to Florida, he joined a southern rock group, playing the drums and singing. From there, he moved onto another

rock group that specialized in original music. Perhaps Tommy’s furthest stretch musically was when he joined a country band,

knowing very little about country music, he still left a great impression on the people he touched. His next big step was to

the Top 40 scene, where he wowed himself and the audience with his vocal ability. At this point Tommy joined forces with

local oldies act, The Saints. After several shows the group became known as “Tommy and The Saints,” and The Tampa Bay

oldies circuit hasn’t been the same since! Tommy has proudly worked with a veritable who’s who of the oldies world. He puts

every ounce of energy that he has into every show and accepts nothing less than perfection from himself and those around

him. His dedication to his craft has earned him the respect of so many in the business. Tommy has been referred to as the

Pavarotti of Doo Wop in the past, and is now known as “The Meatloaf of Doo Wop.”
