Good mates and tour buddies, nomadic Tom Woodward & Canberran Evan Buckley (The Burley Griffin), will be serenading, storytelling, fingerpicking and harmonising their way through two sets of each other's songs, in both solo and duo format. Tom Woodward is a folksinger, guitar picker and writer of strange but compelling songs. In early 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 will hit streaming services in August 2024 and he will be launching it across Australia with a run of shows throughout the Spring.
Evan Buckley is the band leader and principal song writer behind The Burley Griffin, a collective of Canberra's finest musicians.
Evan grew up in Canberra, homeschooled in a religious end-times cult, and has since hitch hiked and toured through 37
American states, exorcising and befriending his demons along the way.
A seasoned and charismatic performer, Evan has also spent over 15 years delighting audiences around Australia, supporting iconic bands from Augie March, and Mia Dyson to Abbe May and Custard.
His songwriting spans post religious folk hymns, cinematic lyrical singalongs, and exuberant hip swaggering numbers that meander and swell, then blister and sear with rhythmic interplay and melodic invitation.
Songs to dance or contemplate with, you'll leave spiritually refreshed.
Joining Evan and Tom is Geelong local Rach Brennan. Capturing the spirit of learning to be alive, her new self-titled project is a decidedly raw departure from her band The Pines, who played their last gig June 2021. Having recorded an entire new catalogue of unheard songs with her long-term musical collaborator Liam Brennan and producers Nick Huggins and Zac Barter, Rach is excited to introduce this new era of music both live and recorded.
