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.
***********
Wake In Fright is a Tarntanya-based art-folk band. They seek to examine the complexities and contradictions of modern life through the sonic and lyrical lens of folk music.

The band features Sam Wilson on vocals and guitar, Luka Kilgariff-Johnson on electric guitar and banjo, Thea Martin on violin, Allan McBean on Upright Bass, and Jachin Mee on drums and backing vocals. Wake In Fright self-released the EP ‘Wake In Fright Are A Band In The Room’ in 2022, the full-length album ‘It Can Happen Here’ in 2023 and their latest album ‘Touch Hands Pack Sting’ in 2024, which they toured to Tokyo, Japan.
