Tommy Novak is a
Sydney-based guitarist and vocalist who
performs both solo and as part of a full band. He cites his influences as John
Mayer, John Farnham, and Thirsty Merc, but maintains a distinctive sound of his
own.
Novak released his solo debut EP 'Live at the
Newsagency' in late 2014, with a rendition of Roy Orbison's 'Crying' that was
featured on the EP accumulating over half a million plays on Spotify from
listeners all around the globe.
His widespread
popularity is more than justified, with his latest single living up to the
reputation he has so diligently built up for himself over the last several
years. His newest track, 'Goin' Outta Style', is a gutsy change from
his previous troubadour-esque releases.
'Goin' Outta Style'
has an old-timey, bluesy feel, which has seen a resurgence in popularity in
recent times. It features bluesy guitar, a backbone rhythm section, and keys
that give the whole song a personality of it's own. The Stevie Wonder infused,
blues-jam style track is interesting, but not so complex that it can't be
understood; and simple, but not so unimaginative that it can't be appreciated.
Novak has a string
of shows lined up to support 'Goin Outta Style', so keep your ear to the ground
to make sure you don't miss this dynamite performer live.
