MATINEE SHOW
Carus Thompson ~ Double Album Launch Tour
Brass Monkey (Cronulla, NSW)
Saturday, 13 December 2025 12:30 pm
Globe-trotting Australian troubadour Carus Thompson has toured the world alongside The John Butler Trio, The Waifs, Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnson, Seth Lakeman & Pete Murray, selling over 30,000 albums along the way. He’s won his loyal fan base through 30 years of hitting the road, delivering passionate, energetic, folk-rocking shows that entertain and engage.
He returns to tour Australia this November and December to launch not one, but two new albums! His 9thstudio album When Everything Was New and his 3rd live album of original songs Acoustic In Germany.
When Everything Was New was recorded over the past two years in his hometown of Fremantle, Western Australia with long-time friend and fellow West Oz musician Nathan Gaunt. The album is a collection of songs that focus on the human experience: small stories of love, loss and hope. Every song is co-written with Gaunt, and this is Thompson’s most melodic and immediate work to date.
Acoustic In Germany is the third volume in Thompson’s acclaimed Acoustic series. His 2003 release Acoustic At The Norfolk established him as one Australia’s favourite and most authentic singer-songwriters: an unpretentious performer who always gives his all. After almost 25 years of touring Germany, his second home, it felt right to record this edition of the acoustic series there, in a studio run by his record label, with a live audience joining in the vibes amongst the expensive Neuman microphones!
A Carus Thompson show will always be a journey through quiet ballads, to all out rockers, to dance-floor fillers, all delivered with his unpretentious, crowd-inclusive energy. His passionate and genuine pub-rock approach sets him apart from the majority of singer-songwriters. It’s always a great vibe.
Come down and be a part of these special double album launch shows and see why he’s long been one of this country's favourite underground acoustic artists.
