Thomas Dollbaum is an American singer-songwriter and poet whose work has been described as alternative country and countryish indie. The debut album, Wellswood, appeared in 2022, and was followed by the Drive All Night EP in 2025. The songwriters Townes and Molina are named as predecessors in this alt-country lineage.

The newest album, Birds of Paradise, was written over about three months and recorded in four days in Water Valley, Mississippi, with a producer and engineer. Its songs are farewells to lost loved ones and former versions of the self, set partly in Florida's pine flatwoods and along the roads leading to Interstate 95, after years away from home.

The Hyde Park Book Club mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts, along with some theatre. The evening suits listeners interested in singer-songwriter indie and alternative country, with a focus on lyrics and storytelling.
