Tom West is songwriter and fingerpicker who wrote his first song at the age of 15 after being acrimoniously dumped by a high school sweetheart. His lyrics are clever, endearing, and catchy, successfully avoid cliché and predictability; the common pitfalls of your average want-to-be songwriter.

Tom West is pleased to announce the release of Jonathan’s Farm, the first single from his forthcoming debut album ‘A Spark in the Dark’, to be released in August this year.

This single launch follows performances in March by West at both the SXSW Music Conference and Canadian Music Week. The Jonathan’s Farm launch tour will kick off a whirlwind few months for West, who will also be touring with indie-folk 5 piece Traveller & Fortune through the middle of the year.

Jonathan’s Farm is a taste of what can be expected from West’s debut LP; a collection of songs and stories spanning continents and over two years in the making, recorded in a shed at Balhannah in the hills outside Adelaide. The track is a bittersweet reflection of a life in hindsight, and features performances from prominent Adelaide musicians Tom Capogreco (Sparkspitter) and Alister Douglas (Wild Oats).
