Across nearly two decades with Busby Marou, Tom Busby’s songwriting has thrived on restraint, melodic patience and an instinctive understanding of place.

After more than two decades as one-half of the duo Busby Marou, Tom Busby has officially carved out his solo path with the announcement of his debut album Rockhampton Hangover, due for release on 20 February 2026.
