Creating unforgettable moments through soulful live music, heartfelt songwriting, and performances that bring people together.
Some songs entertain. Others stay with you long after the final note.
For New Zealand acoustic soul artist Tom Francis, music has always been about connection—creating moments and telling stories that become a thread unites.
After several years living, writing, recording, and touring throughout Australia, Tom has recently returned home to the beautiful shores of Tasman Bay, New Zealand. Surrounded once again by the landscapes that first inspired his music, he's entering a new chapter of creativity while bringing world-class live performances to the Top of the South.
As both a singer-songwriter and accomplished live performer, Tom effortlessly blends soulful acoustic covers with an extensive catalogue of original music. His songs have reached listeners around the globe, gathering millions of streams across digital platforms, while his artistry has taken him on international tours as a solo artist and into recording studios where he's produced 7 studio albums.
Tom's music has also found its way to the screen, featuring in a Netflix film, introducing his distinctive sound to audiences far beyond the stage.
Behind every performance is a lifelong belief that music has the power to unite people. Raised in the Bahá'í Faith, Tom's songwriting and approach to live performance have been deeply influenced by its teachings of unity, compassion, and service. These values have shaped not only the stories within his music, but also his passion for grassroots community events, intimate concerts, and creating spaces where people can genuinely connect through shared musical experiences and stories and themes that connect us all.
Over the years, Tom has performed hundreds of weddings, boutique festivals, private events, and intimate concerts, earning a reputation for creating atmospheres infused with magic, and delivering heartfelt performances that feel personal rather than rehearsed. Whether performing a carefully chosen cover for a couple's first dance or sharing one of his own songs, every performance is grounded in authenticity and improvisation.
Now based in Tasman Bay, Tom is available for private bookings, boutique events, and weddings throughout the Top of the South Island, including Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough, Golden Bay, and surrounding regions.
