Tommy & the High Pilots

When you have the rug pulled out from under you, either you can lie on the ground and complain about your bare floors, or you can regain your feet, brush yourself off and begin redecorating. Tom Cantillon chose the latter in 2007 when his band, Holden, unexpectedly split after five years, jumping coasts from Santa Barbara to New York City and spending the next year soaking in his new surroundings while filling his songbook.
