S3 Ep4: The Sync Report | Tommy Faragher

If you’re a fan of the TV show “Glee”, you’ll have heard more than 18 songs that Tommy produced for ‘Darren Criss and the Warblers’ which culminated in the Top 10 Billboard smash hit acapella version of Teenage Dream.

As well as Glee, Tommy’s music has been heard on Beverly Hills 90210, CBS’s The Odd Couple, Netflix’s One Day At A Time and Australia’s Popstars. Tommy has also produced music for artists including Al Green, Natalie Cole, Dusty Springfield, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Dayne, BB King, Josh Groban and Celine Dion.

Hear how Tommy’s music career started when he joined his brothers band aged 18 and how The Faragher Brothers ended up signing to Polydor Records.

Listen to Tommy’s stories of working with Sylvester Stallone on the movie Staying Alive, what it was like to have four of the i-tunes chart top 5 (Back when you had to buy the songs and could not stream them). How did Tommy come to work with Paul Young to record his version of the huge hit “What Becomes of The Broken Hearted” for the movie Fried Green Tomatoes? What is the writing process like when he works with Arthur Baker? How did he end up as an Executive Producer on the Australian TV show Popstars. Listen in to find out all of this and much more.
