Tom Moriarty Tour Dates

• 6th Jun 2012

Tom Moriarty simply jacked everything in and returned to his first, and true, love – making music. Gifted since early childhood, the Cambridge, London School of Economics and Music Institute, Los Angeles-graduated talent quickly came to the attention of über-producer Ian Grimble (Travis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cure, KT Tunstall, Mumford & Sons). Grimble whipped Tom into Abbey Road ’s famous Studio 2 and a gorgeous album – Fire In The Doll’s House – was born.

Tom released his new single Fire in the Dolls House on Monday via Driftwood Records. His previous single Smile If You Want to Get High was played by Q Radio and the was on the Radio 2 C Playlist for the first two weeks of 2012. The single has been supported by Terry Wogan, Steve Wright, Janice Long and Craig Charles.

Quickly drawing very favourable critics’ comparisons with John Martyn, Eddie Vedder, Tom Waits and even Bruce Springsteen, Moriarty landed a distribution deal with Universal Music’s Absolute arm. Journalists purred; Radio presenters raved – with BBC London’s Robert Elms even describing Moriarty as ‘a pearl amongst oysters’.

With a hugely successful ongoing first Wednesday of the month residency at West London’s trendy Elgin (where The Clash cut their teeth but an altogether more classy night out in 2011) and features and sessions across all media in the very recent past, Tom Moriarty is clearly a man with something to say and September 5th sees the release of a single so instant in appeal it should be banned. Life’s A Mystery has been remixed by ultra hot top producer (Duffy, Jon Allen) Tristan Longworth and can be heard on your radio like, now!

Tom plays the following June dates around the UK –

June 7 – Watershed, Milton Keynes
June 8th – The Railway Inn, Winchester
June 15 – Totnes Live Lounge, Devon
June 25 – Kitchen Garden Cafe, Birmingham
June 29 – Bristol Folk Club
