Tom Cooney

Overview

Brisbane boy/worldly songwriter Tom Cooney has travelled many places, sung many a song, and is now back on home turf with a new repertoire to treat your ears with.

Gig-goers will be in good company; Tom brings with him not only some vastly talented supporting artists – Sawtooth and O’ Little Sister – but his own widely celebrated back catalogue. His debut record Presque Vu was nominated for the Australian Music Prize, as was his second album, Repetition. Tales of the human condition, of love and loss, distance and time, pave the way for his finely crafted tunes, and provide a stunning foundation on which his new material is sure to build.

2014 will be another big year for Tom, with collaborations and more touring to come. For present and longstanding fans of Toms, or those who are inclined towards a beautiful melody and a solo acoustic performer, you’d be well advised to catch him at Black Bear Lodge. Such a stellar performer, playing in an equally styled setting, is a chance hard come by.
