Prime is an acoustic trio that performs a variety of music that features pop, country, oldies, classic rock and original tunes. The band features strong vocals and harmonies in an informal style. Attempting requests from the audience that are not on their standard playlist is a specialty. Their performances are musically entertaining, but most of all fun!

Tom Putnam
Guitar, Banjo, Harmonica and Vocals

Tom was raised in a large musical family and has been playing guitar and singing for as long as he can remember. Beginning with recordings with his family as a young child, he continues to pursue his passion for performing and entertaining. His command of multiple vocal and guitar styles provides the avenue for Prime to play a large variety of music. In addition to Prime, he continues to perform in his family's oldies band Putnam System Rewind.

Van Eidom
Bass Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals

Van has performed in the Northeast Ohio music scene for decades. He has been a member of several well known bands, including The Easy Street Band and several of Jonah Koslen's projects. Known predominantly as a drummer, his move to bass guitar is a fun extension of his rhythm section experience. In Prime, he enjoys playing and singing multiple styles of music that Prime offers. You can find more info about Van, including his solo schedule, at vaneidom.com

Neil Putnam
Percussion and Vocals

Neil is a staple member of Ohio's music scene and brings enthusiasm each time he enters the stage. Neil adds all of the tasteful touches of acoustic percussion that the Prime music requires, while his outstanding vocals complete the Prime sound. Like Tom, Neil continues to perform in his family's band.
