Old blues grows new roots….meet Tom Richardson, hailing from Victorias south west coast. His infectious personality and onstage presence combined with furious, bluesy slide guitar, powerful deep voice and foot stomping rhythms result in a new brand of blues and roots.
Since winning the 2004 and 2005 Australian Busking Championships and more recently the 2007 Apollo Bay Music Festival Young Performer of the Year, Tom has performed festivals such as the Port Fairy Folk Festival, National Folk Festival, Australian Blues Music Festival, Queenscliff Music Festivals, Blues on Broadbeach, Yackandandah Folk Festivals, Portland bay Festival and Apollo Bay Music Festival.
Tom has also shared the stage with artists such as Carus and the True Believers, Bomba, Rob Sawyer Band, Dallas Frasca and her Gentlemen, Liz Stringer, Dale Willis and The Little Stevies.
Originally from Warrnambool, Tom picked up the guitar at age 10 and went on to teach himself bottleneck and lapsteel slide. He recently signed to Australia’s premier blues label, Black Market Music, and is embarking on an 8 week tour as part of the ‘Young Guns of Blues’ showcase with fellow youthful artists Jonno Zilber and Jason Lowe.
Releasing his debut ep 'Follow Me' in December 2006, Tom has received numerous airplay on Triple J and have since been discovered by the National Folk Festival and Apollo Bay Music Festival as "a young performer going places" - Marcia Howard.
