Australian songwriter and musician Tom Woodward returns with his new single, the first taste of his forthcoming seventh studio album. He will be performing a laidback cosmic country set with his band, the True Delusions, at Palomino Lounge, for a free show starting at 8pm on Friday June 27.
Tom Woodward has been writing and releasing his unique brand of baroque folk-rock, cosmic country psychedelia, and fuzzed-out lo-fi gems on numerous albums and EPs for the last two decades.
With an enviable cache of songs that document his thoughts and experiences, he's already lived a fascinating life. Tom honed his craft in the thriving arts & music scene of Canberra and Melbourne in the mid-2000s before taking his original songs to audiences around Australia, Japan, and the USA.
In 2023, Tom put down the guitar and embarked on a two month walk up the east coast of Australia, ending with a hospital stay and a hard-earned respect for the fragility of life. A year and a half later, he got deported as an illegal alien from the USA.
Tom's new single 'Termination Day', which premiered with Sunburnt Country Music and Stuart Coupe's Dirt Music on 2SER, is a raised middle finger to the forces of tech feudalism and economic totalitarianism as they attempt to imprison our souls.
Tom's mid-2010s album Beautiful Shadows received critical acclaim in publications such as For Folk's Sake and The Huffington Post and earned him a Canberra Critics Circle award. He has performed at the National Folk Festival, The Multicultural Fringe Festival, and racked up for supports for such luminaries as Abbe May, The Drones, Mikelangelo & the Black Sea Gentlemen, Cash Savage & the Last Drinks, Machine Translations, Steve Poltz, and many more.
'Termination Day' is out now via Bandcamp, streaming services, and Amrap for our community radio friends across Australia.
