Thomasina Winslow is an American blues musician from the Albany, New York area, and the daughter of folk musician Tom Winslow. As a toddler, she sang back-up on her father's folk music classic Hey Looka Yonder (It's The Clearwater); also singing a solo version of One-Two-Three, another version of which she produced on her own 30 years later. In addition to her solo career, Winslow has been a member of four bands, including a duo with Nick Katzman. Furthermore, she has been a teacher in that genre of music, and has significantly influenced other aspiring musicians. Winslow primarily performs covers of Blues standards and has written a number of blues and gospel tunes in her own right. She is also one of a handful of African-American women producers in the "indy" music industry today.
While she has been teaching a full load of school and private students for over a decade, her primary notability has been from touring in the eastern United States and Europe with Nick Katzman, starting in 2006.
Winslow continues to tour on and off. On May 6, 2011, she again played with Nick Katzman at Katzman's "favorite U.S. venue," The Good Coffeehouse Music Parlor (GCMP), located in Brooklyn, New York. This marks the third time that the famed coffee house has hosted Winslow. She took another tour of Europe in the summer of 2011, marking her French debut.
Thomasina Winslow grew up in New Baltimore, New York, south of Albany. Something of a child prodigy, she was nicknamed "Tunes" by her brother. She first performed on her father's album Tom Winslow, singing 1-2-3 (One-Two-Three) as a toddler. She also sang back-up that year on the folk music classic Hey Looka Yonder (It's the Clear Water) (It's the Clearwater), about the Sloop Clearwater. As part of her family's group, The Winslows, she toured throughout the folk music festival circuit, including The Great Hudson River Revival.
