Capital Blues Presents: Tom Tom and the Groove-Daddies

Led by 9-year-old (yes, 9 years old!) drumming phenom TomTom Woodson, TomTom and the Groove-Daddies play a sing-out-loud style of music that includes hits from the Beatles, CCR, the Killers, the Rolling Stones and more.

From an early age, TomTom showed an aptitude for music such that around the age of 10 months, his father bought him a set of drumsticks and made him a small drum kit out of milk formula cans. TomTom immediately began playing along to his father’s guitar playing and before he was 2 years old, TomTom performed his first gig in public. His father contacted his professional musician friends and in 2022, The Groove-Daddies were formed. The band features Jay Hay on bass guitar and TomTom’s father Beau Redding on guitar and lead vocals. In 2026 they performed at the Festival of Lights in New Plymouth and at the Picton Maritime Festival.
