Jet Black Cat Music and Old Stone Hall present Australian songwriter and producer #1 Dads live in Beechworth this November, celebrating the release of his deeply personal fourth album.
The solo project of Tom Iansek, Every Little Fire (Album release Oct 16) finds #1 Dads embracing the beauty in imperfection. Written during a period of profound personal change, the album reflects on relocation, family, and rebuilding a life from the ground up. Self-produced in small rooms and a DIY bedroom studio, its intimate arrangements, gentle melodies and unvarnished performances create a collection of songs that feel both deeply human and quietly profound. Few artists make music as quietly affecting as Tom Iansek.
A treasured fixture of the Australian independent music community for more than two decades, Iansek is best known as one half of the multi-award-winning Big Scary and No Mono, while also earning widespread acclaim as a producer for artists including Maple Glider, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Paper Kites, Ruby Gill and Lisa Mitchell. Across four #1 Dads records—including the ARIA-nominated About Face and 2020's Golden Repair—he has cultivated a devoted following through understated songwriting, lyrical sincerity and timeless, sophisticated pop.
With Every Little Fire, #1 Dads enters a new chapter, delivering his most personal work to date and reaffirming Tom Iansek as one of Australia's most quietly compelling songwriters. This special performance at Old Stone Hall offers a rare opportunity to experience these new songs as they were made—up close, unhurried and in a room built for listening.
