The mission of Last Call Music Productions is to provide the highest quality music for the entertainment industry. Last Call Music Productions is a creative extension of the band, Last Call Troubadours.
Take one part Uncle Tupelo, add in a dash of Old Crow Medicine Show, sprinkle a liberal dose of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and round it out with a healthy measure of The Beatles and Cheap Trick, and you’ll be close to nailing down the formula for Marin County’s Last Call Troubadours.
Last Call Troubadours consists of producers Barry Blum and Tom Holmes.
