About Tommy

Tommy Pickett is a New Zealand singer-songwriter based on Waiheke Island. His original songs combine folk-rock influences, thoughtful lyrics and a healthy dose of social conscience.

What does it sound like? Imagine Paul Simon colliding with Neil Young, Leonard Cohen arriving to put out the fire, and Jack Johnson sweeping up the pieces while whistling a Paul Kelly tune.

Tommy would probably be responsible for the whole mess.

Catch Me Live

Streetlights

Not long after Rivertown, a handful of new songs started pouring out of my guitar and brain. Those songs eventually became Streetlights, a collection of ten original tracks released in 2023.
