Thom Fekete, the former lead guitarist of Surfer Blood, was raised by a family of musicians. His parents moved to the US from Hungary in the 70’s to pursue their career as touring musicians and eventually toured much of the world as entertainers on cruise ships. Growing up with passions divided between skateboarding (he actively competed as a teen) and music, music ultimately pulled Thomas in it’s direction with the offer to join Surfer Blood in 2009.
