Tommy Wallach (born December 19, 1982) is a writer and musician whose works have appeared in such magazines as "McSweeney's," "Tin House," and "ReadyMade." He musically directed an original cabaret musical that won the 2006 NYC MAC Award for Best New Performance.

Wallach was born in Connecticut, grew up in Seattle, and currently lives in California. In 2005 he graduated from the Gallatin School at New York University. In 2006 he released "Tommy Wallach," an album comprising ten original songs and a cover of the The Beatles' "Maxwell's Silver Hammer."

In January 2007 Wallach began a popular series of webcast performances of original songs and covers of songs by such artists as Ben Folds Five, White Town, and The Magnetic Fields. He has continued to frequently produce the webcast and was recently invited to record a video diary of the NAMM Show, the largest music product trade show in the world.
