Deep Seeded Blues and Smokey Southern Rock. When Tommy Marsh and Crooked Eye Tommy released Butterflies & Snakes in August of 2015, little did the Ventura County-based blues musician realize how well the band’s debut album would be received. An indication of what lie ahead: Winning “Best Blues Band” at the 2015 Ventura County Music Awards this past Summer. Tommy’s third consecutive VCMA is quite the accomplishment, considering the number of talented blues artists who call Ventura County their home!
