With an enviable cache of songs that document his thoughts and experiences, Tom Woodward is ready to continue his sonic journey with the release of Come Come Karma, his seventh studio album. The release consists of twelve tracks that feature baroque folk rock, lo-fi psychedelia, and country tinged storytelling. One of the album's lead singles, "Phoney Messiah" was recently released in November of 2025.
Woodward's songwriting chops have landed him impressive opportunities such as performing at the National Folk Festival, The Multicultural Fringe Festival, and opening slots for Abbe May, The Drones, and Mikelangelo & the Black Sea Gentlemen, to name a few.
Come Come Karma, can be streamed here.
