description

Tom Booth is a local Hobart musician bringing over 14 years of experience to pubs and bars across Tasmania. His live setlist covers a massive range of popular acoustic and rock anthems from the 60s right through to modern hits. He incorporates a live loop station to build layered tracks in real time. This setup delivers incredible depth to the sound compared to what you may expect from a solo performer.

Available Booking Options:

  • Solo Acoustic: Intimate and engaging live guitar and vocal performances.

  • Professional DJ: Seamless DJ sets to keep the energy high and provide a complete, all-in-one entertainment package.
  • Intelligent Lighting: Ambient uplighting to set the mood for dinners and formalities alongside synchronized dynamic lighting for the dancefloor.

Tom is such a delight to book! He’s professional, organised, and easy to communicate with, and everyone always gave him fantastic feedback! You can always trust Tom will pull out all the classic crowd favourites, but he’s also got a great unique and distinctive sound that sets him apart from the other soloists that play the same tunes. I highly recommend working with him!

We are so happy we chose Tom to perform at our wedding. From the very beginning he was professional, friendly and a great communicator. In the lead up to the day, Tom took the time to ensure everything was well organised and that the music would flow seamlessly throughout the event. On the day, he truly went above and beyond, managing multiple location set-ups and lighting to create the perfect atmosphere. Both the live and DJ performances couldn’t be faulted, and the music added something really special to our wedding. So many of our guests raved about how great the music was throughout the day. Performing alongside Nikayla, they were the perfect duo. They immediately understood the crowd of guests we had and created such a great energy throughout the evening, reading the room perfectly and keeping everyone entertained. We truly appreciated the effort they both put in to make everything perfect. For any events in the future, we would absolutely entrust Tom and Nikayla again and couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Thank you so much Tom for travelling all the way down the Tasman Peninsula to play at our little 2025 wedding! It was wonderful to have a live musician, especially when it came to timing and flexibility/forgiveness during our ceremony – can’t thank him enough for that! Tom delivered a beautiful acoustic rendition of my aisle song to set the atmosphere for our ceremony, and then on to our reception. His voice has such a wonderfully warm, raw, and deeply emotive quality, and the man knows his way around a guitar. I’ve seen him play pub gigs before and he reads the room well, and as such he gauged the vibe of our reception and his set-list to suit (other than stipulating my aisle song, I said I trusted his judgement and he did not disappoint). He certainly left a wonderful impression on our guests too, many of them remarking to us later how much they enjoyed his performance. Tom was easy to communicate with, easy going, flexible, efficient and listened to what we were ‘after’ for our day. Unfortunately for us, Nikayla wasn’t available on this occasion, but I know she’s very talented on the keys, with such a beautiful voice, and a wonderful stage presence to-boot. Even if you’re not after someone to serenade you/rock out with you for your wedding, I’d definitely recommend catching one of their local duo gigs, or hit them up to perform at your function/celebration! Definitely an excellent choice for your wedding though!
