Tom Bolton writes sparkling/moody contemporary folk-acoustic music, drawing on an eclectic brew of folk, roots and rock inspirations. Distinctive melodies and rhythms are woven through with well-crafted lyrics and a variety of influences shine out without obvious effort... hints of everything from Richie Havens, Jefferson Airplane and Nick Drake, through to David Sylvian and beyond. The result of more than thirty years of journeying into music is a solid collection of original work, first documented in the 2003 album "Acoustic Caravan."
In 2006, having played solo gigs for a number of years, he was joined onstage by Richard Grace. Tom's soaring vocals and distinctive acoustic guitar, accompanied by Richard's deep-velvet double-bass and harmonies, have earned them a reputation as engaging performers at folk and acoustic venues around Australia.
"When I Cross the River" is Tom's second album, released November 2007. It was recorded and produced by Jeremy P Martin, with a diverse collection of musicians weaving a rich canvas of sounds around the core of vocals, acoustic guitar and acoustic double-bass. It has been attracting very positive reviews and getting regular airplay on independent radio in Australia, Europe, Canada and USA.
