Tom Curtain—

To coincide with a special disaster relief event, Golden Guitar winner Tom Curtain has released a new song, You Know You Will, paying tribute to the resilience, grit and determination of the regional Victorian communities devastated by the January bushfires.

Tom has taken his award winning Katherine Outback Experience to Mansfield, where 100% of ticket sales are going back to the community to help in their recovery. “When I visited a local school some forty families were directly affected by the fires. Many of these families didn’t take initial help as their view was others were worse off,” he said.

“The song You Know You Will speaks to moments when things feel like they’re falling apart, as well as the inner resolve and resilience that it takes to keep going. The track captures the spirit of people who dig deep, stand their ground and push forward when walking away would be easier,” he said.

While Tom is helping Victorian communities, his own home town in the Northern Territory has experienced a disaster of its own. Katherine and the Big Rivers Region recently experienced major flooding, reinforcing the message at the heart of the song, that communities are strongest when they stand together.

Tom is a Golden Guitar winning country music artist, known for heartfelt songwriting and energetic live performances. Passionate about community, he partners with Dolly’s Dream, a site to honour Dolly Everett, who, at just 14 years of age, took her own life after an extended period of bullying and cyberbullying. They share messages of kindness through his songs, school visits, and a new children’s book.
