Have You Heard: Tom Fisher

When did you start making music and why? My father is a renowned WA muso and I used to tag along to gigs. By the age of seven he was getting me up to sing rockabilly songs. I was doomed from then.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Alt-country, blues, rock.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Probably the Stones' Exile On Main St. I love the music and the story behind the album — they are my faves.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Sheesh, touring Brazil, USA, UK, France, Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, etc, with various bands was pretty ace. I also got to belt out a few numbers at On The Steps at Sydney Opera House with my cousin Tim Minchin to great response.

Why should people come and see you? I give it a fair crack at my solo gigs. Nice and mellow, but I get stuck in when it counts.

When and where are your next gigs? 28 Feb, Wesley Anne.
