Tom Bright’s 2023 has seen him appear on BBC’s The One Show, interviewed on BBC Radio 2, BBC 5 Live, live in session on Radio X, perform at The London Palladium, Shepherd's Bush Empire, Glastonbury Festival, Celtic Connections and tour the UK a couple of times over already.

Tom has in fact been on the road relentlessly the past years, supporting the likes of Mystery Jets, Tom Grennan, Ligabue, Reverend & The Makers, Declan O’Rourke, William Prince, Richard Walters, The Bluetones and Callaghan just to name a few. In a career that’s seen him work with Mick Jones (The Clash) and Matt Johnson (The The), share a stage with Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and have his guitar signed by Johnny Marr (The Smiths), he spent 2 years in Spotify’s Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist and has turned the heads of many a radio champion, from Guy Garvey to John Kennedy.

Before his musical endeavours, Tom was once the UK’s youngest pub landlord, and is also a former patient of Great Ormond Street Hospital, undergoing a multitude of major life-saving operations.

His third album, ‘Somewhere Anywhere’, was released on 20th October and celebrated with an in-store show at Rough Trade West, followed by a Radio X live session with John Kennedy, then a hugely successful headline tour across the UK. John Kennedy actually introduced Tom to the stage of his sold out London show, and Carl Barât of The Libertines went to see him play The Albion Rooms, Margate.

Produced by Ed Harcourt and mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, ‘Somewhere Anywhere’ is his most personal and reflective work to date.

In 2024, Tom will release ‘Young Old Bloke’ - a collection of early songs produced by Mick Jones and Dirty White, and is also currently working on a follow up record with Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets).
