Tom Salles began playing Beatles music in his early teens and performed in various Beatle cover bands as a result. He was always into the harmonies and lucky enough to play with people who could not only sing them but appreciate them as well. Tom has been a band leader for much of the time he's been performing and was instrumental in putting The Beatles Project together. He enjoys singing both Lennon and McCartney vocals and is not shy about taking on any harmony part that's needed to make the song happen live.

He sings, plays both lead and rhythm guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. He's a music teacher and has taught at both the high school and middle school level. Tom is presently teaching instrumental music, choir, and The History of Rock and Roll at Bryant Middle school in Dos Palos. Tom said that the best thing about The Beatles Project is that all the members are serious about doing the music well and they are talented enough to make it happen. We all have a music in common that we really like and that makes it fun to rehearse and perform for the appreciative audiences that come to the Project's shows.  Tom says, "If I'm reliving my childhood then I strongly recommend the experiece for everyone. It's a blast."
