‘...an offbeat purveyor of the dark and ironic, and an upbeat explorer of a myriad of sounds.’ JOHNATHAN FRAHM FOR FOLKS SAKE

Tom Woodward is a folksinger, guitar picker and writer of strange but compelling songs. He honed his craft in the thriving arts & music scene of Canberra and Melbourne in the mid 2000s. He spent two decades performing his original songs to audiences around Australia, Japan and the USA. His 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.

In 2023 he put down the guitar and embarked on a two month walk up the east coast of Australia, ending in 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. Composed in the twilit limbo between these two life shattering events, Revolving Doors is his new album. It was released in August 2024, and he will be touring it with shows Australia throughout the summer.

Hailing from Canberra and having been sentenced to a wandering life by a sardonic and hilarious God, Woodward has been laughing, crying, and singing about it ever since. Immerse yourselves in his tragicomic world of song at The Coolroom at the Northern Arts Hotel on November 24.
