This fall, Tom Sandoval & the MOST Extras are hitting the road as a cover band to delight fans across the country.
While some critics may question a reality star like Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval entering the music space, the singer isn't bothered by the doubters. "What I love about having a 10-person band is you don't have to go there and just be there for me," he said. "You don't have to go there to just be into my music. You can go there and listen to your favorite songs, have some drinks, sing at the top of your lungs, and get to watch this incredible band."
Although Tom serves as the lead singer of the band, he is quick to give credit to the entire group for their contributions. "We have trombone, trumpet and saxophone players," he said. "There's a lot going on so there's really never a dull moment. It takes the pressure off of me."
Whenever you see Tom perform live, expect an extra fabulous outfit and look. "I kind of feel like the eyes are the window to the soul," he joked when teasing his makeup. "I'm just having fun."
While walking a red carpet is cool and opening a bar is impressive, Tom said it's a whole other feeling performing on a stage in front of hundreds of people. "It's just such an energy rush," he said. "It's an adrenaline of happiness and excitement and it's just so amazing. All the fans have been so amazing. I feel like cover bands bring out that side of people. It's supposed to be fun, easy, not serious. It's supposed to be a party."
In the coming months, Tom hopes to release an original song with an accompanying music video. "My goal is just to have fun. That is why I did this," he said. "It's such a creative outlet for me. And with all the other stress I have going on in my life, it's just such a nice release for me. And everybody who's been to our shows say, ‘Tom, you just look so at home up there.' And I do feel so in my element."
