Tom Erb has become as essential to our Newport arts scene as the sea is to our sailing community. We all love the languid, easy-going feel of this island, but there is a certain passion and intellect that Tom Erb brings to the Newport community. For a long time Newport has been identified by its sailors, society people, surfers and college kids; thanks to Tom we can now add serious artists (actors, singers, writers, painters) to that mix.
