The Songs Of Tom Smith

The Songs of Tom Smith mix indie, soul, country and folk, played by a band whose players rotate around Tom. Humour does a lot of the work. A pair of recurring characters, a dandy at the world's end and a cowboy preacher with a camp streak, front songs that take on subjects most acts steer clear of, religion and masculinity among them. The project has earned recognition in Europe as well as Australia. It's a show of original songs for an audience that likes lyrics with some bite, at a listening venue, a festival stage or an arts event. Tom is based in Brisbane.
