Tom Scott - Avantdale Bowling Club, Politics & Fatherhood

The talented Tom Scott is one of our very best performers. His father is a musician, his mother works in Māori media - and that has helped shape Tom and his music. The former Homebrew front man has now released his new album with his current band 'Avantdale Bowling Club.

Moana catches up with him to discuss politics, music and fatherhood.

Amazing insight into toms world. Feel like I've just seen the true inner workings of a man I've looked up to for the best part of a decade. Ka pai my bro. Your art inspires me in so many ways. Meke aroha

Respect Tom.... White boy here - 15 years in NZ from Not a smoker now, however understand every message in every track on that second album. Totally get every every word you say in this - love turning the record to the other side, not a single stamp skipped.
Youre a genius that is undiscovered - I look after a lot of touring artists in New Zealand when they come over for a love of the promotors, I always play your record before anyone else when they ask me to play some NZ music.... its beyond clever... its beyond intelligent... its beyond the pictures you paint.
Thank you.
