Thomas Charles Clukey | Americana Singer-Songwriter

I’m a Singer-Songwriter, currently based in Saco, Maine. Growing up in St. Albans, my introduction to music was mostly the country and oldies radio playing as my daily soundtrack. Those sounds stuck with me and eventually led me toward the music I write today—songs built on honest storytelling and the grit of everyday life.

I find my reset button in the Maine outdoors. Whether I'm hiking, hunting, fishing, or out on the water, spending time in nature is where I find the perspective that keeps my music grounded. You can often find me performing at venues like One Longfellow Square (OLS) or School Street Coffee House, where I aim to bring that same sense of place to the stage.

Longfellow Emerging Artist Fellowship (LEAF)

I was recently selected for the Longfellow Emerging Artist Fellowship through One Longfellow Square in Portland, Maine. This program has been a central part of my recent work, providing a dedicated space to focus on new material and connect with the New England songwriting community.

I am a 2025 Maine Songwriters Association (MSA) Songwriting Contest Winner. Additionally, for the second year in a row (2025 & 2026), I was named a finalist in the Rose Garden Coffeehouse Performing Songwriter Contest in Mansfield, MA.
