Tom Curtain Music
Tom Curtain is a nationally acclaimed singer/ songwriter. This tour coincides with the release of his sixth studio album Here's To You which debuted at No.1 on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Country Albums Chart and No.1 on the AIR Independent Albums Chart. Singles from the album including Here's To You, Good Life, Top End Tough and Just Give it a Crack have all had resounding success in the Australian Country Music Charts.
In 2018 Tom won two Golden Guitar Awards for his single "Never Never Land", a duet with Luke O'Shea. Tom was also awarded the prestigious 2018 Australian Independent Country Music Artist of the Year Award together with Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year (Territory Time) and Single of the Year("Never Never Land") at the Southern Stars Australian Independent Country Music Awards.
Tom is also an official ambassador of Dolly's Dream. Moved by the tragic passing of Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett, who took her young life after being relentlessly cyber-bullied, Tom put pen to paper and released the single "Speak Up" with Sara Storer. To date, over $100,000 has been raised by Katherine Outback Experience and Outback Productions through the sale of the song and branded merchandise. These donations are used to provide useful and powerful tools for schools, children and family members (www.dollysdream.org.au) to fight online bullying.
