In the Flamingo Lounge with Rockabilly Greg12 Apr 2025

Thom Jennings

This week's guest, Thom Jennings, joined Rockabilly Greg in the Flamingo Lounge on march 24, 2025. Thom is an award-winning music writer and aficionado specializing in classic rock music. With an unwavering passion for the genre, he has spent the last 15 years delving into the timeless sounds that defined an era and capturing the essence of legendary artists through his insightful writings.

Driven by his thirst for knowledge, Thom spent his youth scouring record bins in Western New York for any and all information about his favorite bands. That led to a passion for live music.

In 2008, Thom was an established freelance op-ed writer for the Medina Journal-Register; he had the opportunity to cover a classic rock concert series in Lockport, NY. That morphed into a weekly music column for the Lockport Union Sun & Journal and the Niagara Gazette. Thom is currently the longest-tenured music writer for a daily newspaper in Western New York.

Beyond his writing endeavors, Thom has also hosted podcasts, panel discussions, and presentations at historical societies.

His latest project is Missing Man – The Vince Welnick Story, is a six-part podcast series exploring the life and career of the late keyboardist. The podcast delves into Welnick's musical legacy, his struggles, and the lasting impact he had on those who knew him.

In addition to his work as a writer and speaker, Thom has performed stand-up comedy and is an actor and host for The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery, where he blends his passion for storytelling with interactive entertainment.
