TOM WEST - Full Band Show

Music • Folk
South Australia
Following three years of touring in the USA, Adelaide born and bred songwriter Tom West returns to the Gov with band for a special performance of his much loved songs and stories.

"★ ★ ★ ★ With his unique voice, storytelling and folk sensibility he could pass for a modern-day Neil Young. " - The Sunday Mail.

"★ ★ ★ 1/2 His keening, androgynous voice - in an upper register recalling Brian Aubert, frontman of the LA indie rockers Silversun Pickups - is a joyously tuneful instrument, meshing with his finger-picked guitars, sprinklings of piano, bass and Ringo-like drums. West's material, though betraying a Harvest-era Neil Young influence - as heard on the oddball A Folk Singer From Outer Space - is consistently strong, with memorably melodic choruses." - The Australian.

Show 8; doors 7:30.
