"Tom Wilson Weinberg began singing original queer-themed songs in coffee houses and gay pride events in the late seventies. His early albums Gay Name Game (1979) and All-American Boy (1982) were among the first in this new genre.

"His shows Ten Percent Revue (1987) and Get Used to It! (1992) were produced off-Broadway by Laura Green and John Glines, respectively, published by Broadway Play Publishing Company, toured extensively and recorded by Aboveground Records. Weinberg's compilation Don't Mess With Mary (1994) was the official CD of Stonewall 25.

"Sixty Years with Bruhs and Gean, commissioned by the New York City Gay Men's Chorus, debuted at Carnegie Hall and was later sung at Lincoln Center in 1995. An expanded version of the show was presented by the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Theater Festival in 2003, at The Duplex in New York and on Fire Island in 2004. Tom's The Teachings of Chairman Rick was part of the 2005 Philly Fringe Festival. Rick was revived in 2006, Bruhs and Gean in 2007. In 2008 Tom and singers Keith Kaczorowski and Melissa Kolczynski began a series of cabaret performances about the relationship of Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok, [and] is in development in New York, with a book by Peggy Stafford and directed by Darren Katz. A recent reading and demo CD features Lea Delaria in the role of Hickok. Weinberg's song "Lesbian Seagull" was featured in the film Beavis and Butt-head Do America (Paramount/MTV), on the soundtrack (Geffen/Universal), published by Warner Chappell and released as a single with Red Hot Chili Peppers' 'Love Rollercoaster.'

"Honors include a Drama-Logue Award (Los Angeles), Golden Gull Award (Provincetown), Bessie Smith Award (Boston) and OUTmusic Heritage Award (New York). Tom was a founder of Giovanni's Room and president of The Attic Youth Center, both in Philadelphia. He is a member of ASCAP, OUTmusic and The Purple Circuit. He lives with John Whyte, his husband of 39 years."
