About
Tom Harrington is an indie-folk artist, who grew up in rural Victorian farm before falling in love with the coastal life. He uses live vocal looping to create a larger-than-life sound whilst still remaining present and flowing, to a level unseen in other indie-folk artists. His rural upbringing sees him bringing flavours of country in his captivating and raw story telling, combined with the musicality of emotive folk music.
Over the past few years has carved out a reputable place in the Australian music scene, supporting acts like Boy & Bear, Ziggy Alberts, Bears Den (UK), The Dreggs and Kim Churchill, and leaving footprints on the stages of Byron Bluesfest, Gympie Music Muster and Airlie Beach Music Festival. His 2023 win at the Sunshine Coast’s Battle of the Buskers cemented his talent within the indie-folk community, and tracks like Seen The Sun and Be There Soon have since travelled across 150+ countries.
Whether its confessions by candlelight or belting under festival lights, Harrington brings a heart-on-sleeve honesty and crowd interaction that solidifies an intentional connection in any listener
Tom is still 100% independent, booking and managing all shows,
releases, touring (as well as this website where
I am talking in third person to elevate my
self-importance) so your support means
the absolute world! With more music set
for release soon!
We're just getting started!
Barely the same - Album credits
I really need to say a huge thank you to everyone who has gotten me this far
into a career I never even dreamt of. I thought I would become a teacher, and now I travel full time playing my music all around Australia and the world
thanks to your support! It's breathtaking, overwhelming, rugged and glorious and I'm fortunate enough to know that I'm living the best version of my life that I possibly could! Here's to you allowing me to create a 100% self funded debut album my way!​

The best is yet to come!
