About Tom Curtain

Tom Curtain is a nationally acclaimed country music singer-songwriter, multiple Golden Guitar winner and one of Australia's most unique live entertainers.

His sixth studio album, Here's To You, debuted at No.1 on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Country Albums Chart and No.1 on the AIR 100% Independent Albums Chart. Singles including Here's To You, Good Life, Top End Tough, Knockin' Down the Walls and Just Give It a Crack have enjoyed strong success on Australian country music radio and charts.

Tom's music career and his work with horses come together on tour, creating a live experience unlike a traditional country music concert.

In 2018, Tom won two Golden Guitar Awards for Never Never Land, his duet with Luke O'Shea. He has also received multiple Australian Independent Country Music Awards and was inducted into the Hands of Fame in Tamworth in 2023.

Supporting Dolly's Dream

Tom is a proud official ambassador for Dolly's Dream.

Following the tragic passing of Amy 'Dolly' Everett, Tom wrote and recorded Speak Up with Sara Storer and has continued to use his music, touring and community reach to promote the importance of kindness and speaking up.

Together, Katherine Outback Experience and Outback Productions have raised significant funds for Dolly's Dream through music, merchandise, events and other fundraising initiatives.

These funds help Dolly's Dream deliver programs and resources that support young people, families and communities in addressing bullying and online safety.

Katherine Outback Experience

Owned and operated by Tom Curtain and his wide Annabel, Katherine Outback Experience (KOE) is an award-winning tourist attraction based in Katherine, Northern Territory.

The show celebrates life on the land through real horse training, working dog demonstrations, station animals, Australian horsemanship and live entertainment.

Katherine Outback Experience has received numerous national tourism awards, and following three consecutive Gold wins in 2023, 2024 and 2025 at the Qantas Australia Tourism Awards, Katherine Outback Experience was inducted in to the prestigious Hall of Fame.

KOE operates from its Katherine property during the Northern Territory Dry Season before the team, horses and working dogs hit the road for their annual national tour.

For the safety of our team, guests, horses, working dogs and your own dog (ferret, cow or other animal), we ask that you please leave pets at home.

Our events involve horses, livestock and working dogs in a busy and unfamiliar environment. Even well-behaved pets can react unpredictably, or cause our animals to become distracted or unsettled.

Registered/recognised assistance and service dogs are welcome. We simply ask that they remain under the control of their handler at all times and away from our livestock.

Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Yes. Tickets are transferable. We recommend updating the attendee information so important event communications on the morning of the event reach the person attending.
