Tom Williams and The Boat
Tom Williams and The Boat are a 6 piece anti-folk band best described as Bob Dylan meets Lightspeed Champion/Eugene McGuiness with the lyrical style
of Regina Spektor or Win Butler (Arcade Fire).
Hailing from the town of Tunbridge Wells, Tom Williams and The Boat first formed six months ago; a natural progression from Tom’s solo work. With drums,
bass, violins, guitars, mouth organs and pianos, their sound is epic and adventurous whilst retaining an strong personality and humanity, rooted in Tom’s
song writing.
The band have earned a constantly growing fan-base through supporting bands such as The Wombats, Good Books, Jack Penate, Jeremy Warmsley, Emmy the Great
and Laura Marling.
Last year Tom’s debut six track EP, the now sold out, Town Station Demos was released by local independent label Win Win Win! Records. They also released
the first Tom Williams & The Boat EP in April 2007.
The band have gained support and air play from Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens, and the BBC Radio Kent Introducing team. They were also picked as one of two Kent
bands to play Radio One's One Big Weekend in Maidstone in May 2008, gaining national coverage and exposure, their biggest gig to date...
The Penguin EP and the Got Fuel EP were released on Unlabel and Wire Boat Recordings and both are now sold out.
Their latest joint ventures with Unlabel are the Concentrate and 90MPH singles, released in March and June 2010 on strictly limited 7" vinyl.
With the band's captivating and atmospheric live shows, an excellent new EP and strong fan base it's not surprising they are
already receiving interest from indie and major level heavyweights.
