Two decades performing on the international stage, Tobias has cemented his reputation as one of Australia’s leading folk pop artists. Playing alongside Missy Higgins Jen Cloher, Archie Roach and Toni Childs.
Often described as “Beck meets, Paul Kelly meets Bruce Springsteen” – Tobias’ music brings the room to life with his craftsmanship and songwriting ability.
His latest single When The Sun Comes Up Again – became #1 in Australia in 2017.
Known for his exceptional breadth and experience with writing music, he comes to life on the guitar and his acoustic performances bring this alive.
TOBiAS DROPS LATEST SINGLE ‘CITY WALK’ FROM HIS SECOND ALBUM ‘ALIVE’.
Hey Folks, here is my latest single ‘City Walk’ taken from my second album ‘Alive’. I wrote this while on tour last year visiting my old home town of Brisbane. Riding the City Cat late at night with friends, a lot of memories came back about living in West End.
Sitting on the front steps of an old run down Queenslander share-house, drinking some cheap wine and watching the night unfold on the street through a haze of debauchery. The Cure, The Go-Betweens and The Smiths always frequenting the record player. In retrospect its a romantic view of artistic poverty, the reality however is never pretty.
I wanted the song to capture this feeling and I think it has. All thanks to a stella performance on drums by Craig Hadlow, Keys by Rob Kidd, Tearnu Graham on Bass and Nick Huggins (of ‘A pocket full of stones studio’) production, who always meets an idea with such creativity.
Hope you like it

Woodford Folk Festival! I am such a big fan of this amazing event. A great way to top off a great year of touring my new album ‘Alive’.
After a big few months of recording and moving around the country I am finally getting back on the road to promote my new album ‘Alive’. I will be travelling all the way from The Sunshine Coast to Melbourne and back again playing at various exotic locations on the way! (Tour dates announced in the shows page) I released the second single off the album ‘Just A Boy’ recently which was received really well. The song is about a memory of family connection and came about after reflecting on the warmth and love my mother showed me and my brothers growing up on The Sunshine Coast.

Toby and his band will be joined by musical guests along the way, including Ayla (Triple J fame) who will appear for a one-off special show in Eumundi on the Sunshine Coast.
