Episode 104: Tom Curtain

Our Guest today is Tom Curtain.
Tom is an entertainer, musician, horseman, businessman, entrepreneur and family-man living and working in the outback of Australia.

Tom discovered his passion for song-writing while working in the stock-camp of Mt Sanford Station, 500kms south of Katherine, NT. What started as some fun singing around the campfire, lead to the release of his first award-winning album ‘Smack Bang’ in 2004.
Following this, he split his time touring with some of Australia’s biggest country music artists.

In 2013 Tom launched the ‘Katherine Outback Experience’, a tourist venture on his property that celebrates life on the land through real horse-starting and working dog demonstrations entwined with live music and humorous bush tales.

After a decade away from the music industry, in November 2017, Tom released his third album 'Territory Time' which debuted at No. 1 on the Australian iTunes Country Music Charts.
'Never Never Land', a duet with Luke O'Shea, went on to win two Golden Guitars at the 2018 Tamworth Country Music Awards for CMC Video Clip of the Year and Toyota Heritage Song of the Year.

Tom also won the prestigious Australian Independent Artist of the Year at the 2018 Southern Stars Australian Independent Country Music Awards in Mildura, together with Album of the Year, Single of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.

His first single “Why We Live Out Here” from his 5th, highly anticipated album has been released in on June 3rd and has been cowritten with Garth Porter and Matt Scullion.
