Tom Fisher and The Layabouts

WINNERS of WAM’s Song of the Year for Blues & Roots in 2019 , Tom Fisher and the Layabouts bring the heart of current country blues rock on the WA touring and festival circuit. Fronted by the enigmatic Fisher (son of renowned WA muso Jim) and powered by an experienced line up of Western Australia’s most talented musicians.

Evoking a southern inspired sound that touches on the likes of Tom Petty, Springsteen, Steve Earle and others, combined with Fisher’s powerful heartfelt song writing.

A force to be reckoned with, the Layabouts live, high energy and polished set can range from heartbreaking country ballads to screeching slide guitar blues/rock stompers. As a live act they never miss and are constantly asked back to festivals to get the crowd sipping beer and kicking their heels up, which suits Tom Fisher and the Layabouts to a tee.

A festival where everyone belongs.
