"Blue Day Requiem is heart-on-sleeve music for the spiritually battered, and whereas it might not be the most uplifting record, it's sometimes enough to know that when you're down at heel, there'll be someone there to keep you company."

- RICHARD STOKOE, LOSINGTODAY.COM

"Tom Woodward slides into his set without introduction – appropriate really, given his music speaks for itself. His vocals a cross between Glenn Richards, Dylan and Gareth Liddiard, Tom's alt. country social commentary and observations of love put me in mind of a less saccharine Josh Pyke, and in all he's brilliant, particularly on A Little Tear For You."

- RAVE MAGAZINE

"Like a breath of fresh air being blown through a whiskey soaked cigar, [Tom Woodward's] words are a wake up call, not coated in fancy trimmings or novelty, but instead doused in realism and truth - then set alight."

- SCENE MAGAZINE

"Lyrics are the fundamental key to the folky / bluesy / storytelling genre in which Woodward operates, and in this regard, he is streets ahead of many of his contemporaries. Expect great things!"

- BEAT MAGAZINE

"This recording shows Woodward's maturity and development as a songwriter, showcasing his talents in a diverse and inspiring collection of work. It matches, if not betters, many high rotation "star" performers currently being heard on the radio daily both here and overseas."

- CANBERRA REVIEW

"Reminding Me Of You is the "Sweet Home Alabama" of 2007."

   About tom woodward

Tom Woodward spent the first years of his adolescence travelling the country with his nomadic family. His father ran theatre workshops based on the theories of French surrealist Anontin Artaud and his mother sang 19th century folk songs in regional pubs. Woodward gained his first musical performance experience backing his mother on guitar.

The family returned to Canberra after an unfortunate incident involving a Jimmy Barnes impersonator. In Canberra, whilst not attending college, Woodward put together “The Henchmen”. They self-released an album and Woodward went on his first national tour playing original music. In 2005, after years of writing songs and playing gigs around the country, Woodward quit music and spent the next sixteen months living between Melbourne and Canberra, working odd jobs and attempting to write two novels (that he still has yet to finish).

In late 2006, unsure of what to do with himself, Woodward moved to a fruit farm in regional NSW. For three months he picked peaches and nectarines. The work was monotonous, but not as bad as telemarketing. Whilst on the farm, he wrote eleven songs. These songs made up his debut LP, Blue Day Requiem, which he released once the farm set him free.

After touring the country fifteen times and playing 80 shows over six months, he moved to Melbourne. He then hooked up with artist and producer Justin Grounds, who recorded his second album. This album is called "Roadside Crosses", has eleven songs on it, and will be released in September, 2008.
