Tom Ardolino is a rock drummer best known as a member of NRBQ. Ardolino replaced original drummer Tom Staley in 1974,[1] and remained in the lineup from then on. While lead vocals were generally performed by other members of the band, live shows often included a moment where Ardolino would come forward, take the spotlight, and sing, either with a karaoke backing track or with one of the other band members drumming.

Ardolino is a resident of Springfield, Massachusetts, and appeared in a promotional video to campaign for the world premiere of The Simpsons Movie to be held there.

Tom Ardolino's solo album "Unknown Brain" was released by Bumble Bee Records, Japan, on CD in 2004 and in the USA on Mystra Records on vinyl LP, it consists mostly of basement recordings made in 1971-72. The cover states "WARNING: If out-of-tuneness bothers you, do not listen."[2]
