Tom Caughey
Multi-instrumentalist-songwriter Tom Caughey and frontman of the band Koi Pond combines elements of psychedelic rock and alternative folk to create a sound that both tugs at your heartstrings and gets your body moving. Tom’s deep lyrics dive into the harder times in life to provide a place of relativity for those who listen. The Hideaway, released in 2019 and receiving a WAM Song Of The Year nomination illustrates a time in Tom’s life when he was dealing with great loss and solitude. The explosive sorrowful psych tune begs to humanity to not leave tragedy behind. To never forget those that have gone, and to not hide away from our problems.
