Tonethief: Laid back and tempting tunes.


Tonethief is the working stage name for Tom O'Connor's music.

Tom started out playing drums and percussion in his teenage years and came late to guitar playing and song writing at the age of 25. Tom was by then working as a sound engineer on the north side of Dublin, Ireland.

Working out of a small commercial Recording Studio, he learned the ropes recording and producing local music and band demo's. Taking advantage of the facilities at hand, Tom started writing and recording songs in studio downtime and Fading Blue is the end result of these recordings.

Fading Blue is a self funded and self produced album. The album is focused on delivering strong lyrics on a melodic mix of acoustic and electric sounds with songs that build up from hooky verses to big strong choruses. The album Fading Blue is a mix of folk, rock and pop.
