A Black Box favorite, singer-songwriter Tom Cordle returns to the Dogwood on
Saturday, August 6! Once again, he will be accompanied by a trio of his talented musician friends.
Tom is a songwriter and entertainer and has appeared in concert with Willie Nelson and Roy Book Binder. He has written hundreds of songs and recorded more than a dozen CD’s of original music. His CD Kidstuff was adapted for a musical A Day in the Life of Rylee. His songs will also be featured in Don Coyote, a musical adaptation of Don Quixote.
Tom calls his unique brand of entertainment “history in song”; and this time around, he taps his Native American roots for “Soulofhawk – Songs of Native Sons”, a tribute to the courage and indomitable spirit of the First Americans.
From Christopher Columbus to Little Big Horn, native people fought a long, bitter battle for their land. To them, the earth was sacred. But their conquerors thought otherwise; to them the land was just another enemy to be conquered. 
Sadly, that attitude remains, and the songs of Soulofhawk remind us we have much yet to learn from those First Americans.
In addition to being a songwriter and an entertainer, Tom is the author of Scattered Thoughts and The Disappearing Cemetery, a book a reviewer described as “a fascinating mix of prose, poetry, history, and commentary.”
Tom is also involved with films, including The Seventh Day which he wrote and directed. It will be shown at the Dogwood on Sunday, August 7, and a discussion period will follow the movie. Tom also wrote the script for the documentary Artists in the Forest, and worked on the feature films My Girl, Matinee and The Work and the Glory.
