SE Qld artist, Tom Harrison charges in with a brand new, raw blues rock track in ‘Peace With Me’ - a track that taps into the grit of classic soul while leaning into a modern, atmospheric edge.

Mixed by Nell Forster and mastered by Mikey Young, the song was written and recorded in Tom Harrison’s home studio, with drums provided by Paul Bain (from Australian country star, Travis Collins’ band).
