AUTHOR'S NOTE:
The launch of this ‘new-look’ website on 1st August, 2023 was to commemorate Tommy's birthday, and of course falls nicely before, what's looks set to be, an amazing Bolin Fest 2023.
This particular website was originally set-up in 2012 (although was then called ‘www.tommybolin-official.com’, but due to an expired domain name (my bad) we were forced to change to ‘www.tommybolinofficial.com’ (just the omission of the hypen lol).
The site will be continually updated / corrected / changed, it will be a very ‘organic’ thing and we welcome your feedback and input. In fact without the support and assistance of so many people, this site wouldn't exist, so a MASSIVE thank you to EVERYONE who has supported us over the years.
I would personally like to thank Alisa, Andrew T, Christine C., Johnnie, David G. John H., Keith W., Kristine, Lynn, Mark, Mary, Maureen, Pascal, Sal, Scott, Simon Robinson (years of inspiration), Stan, Stefan (sorry for those I haven't mentioned, the list is too long lol)
Dave :)
A gift from Stan for the launch of this new-look site!
Here are a few TOMMY RELATED LINKS. NOTE: There are many Facebook pages out there, plus other websites and we'll add them in due course, these are just for starters... ENJOY!

From embarking on a thrilling tour with Zephyr, he shared the stage with legends like Fleetwood Mac and The Kinks! The beats he laid down on Zephyr’s ‘Going Back to Colorado’ album are still felt today. Not stopping there, Bobby Berge joined forces with The Tommy Bolin Band, delivering electrifying performances and adding his unique percussion tracks to the iconic ‘Teaser’ and ‘Private Eyes’ albums!
The Tommy Bolin Memorial Fund was originally established by Johnnie Bolin in memory of his brother, in association with the Siouxland Community Foundation. The Ultimate mission is simple... To preserve the music, the memory and the legacy of Tommy Bolin.
