Woody Campfire
Larrikin country singer.
Irresponsible campfire host.
Spinner of tall tales.
Woody Campfire, eh?
Woody Campfire stirs up good-time chaos wherever he lands, armed with his dinkum tenor, trusty instrument and a swag of songs.
His original songs are cheeky snapshots of the characters he’s met while roaming rural Australia. Stories of dusty highways, sticky pub nights, and the unpredictable magic of life on the road. With a songwriting style that doffs its hat to Aussie legends like Slim Dusty and John Williamson (with his own bent twist, of course), Woody brings warmth, wit and a healthy dose of wildness to every show.
Though he may be about to release his first album, Woody’s no newcomer to the stage. Behind the beard is award-winning performer and songwriter Tomás Ford, whose two decades of international touring and cult-favourite character shows fuel Woody’s big-hearted, high-energy performances.
But Woody’s more than just a persona, he’s where Tomás feels most at home. What began as a playful bit of busking soon sparked something real, reconnecting him with his voice through a fresh take on classic Australian storytelling. There’s mischief in every verse, but also a deep affection for the places and people who shape his songs.
Whether he’s busking on a quiet country street or packing out a late-night city pub, Woody’s shows are full of tall tales, big laughs and irresistible singalongs. His following’s growing fast, with wild scenes already kicked off at Tamworth Country Music Festival, Fringe World, Perth International Cabaret Festival and more.
So pull up a camp chair, grab a pint, and settle in around Woody’s bonfire. Who knows where you’ll end up by last drinks?

Woody’s original songs come from a deeply personal place, telling stories from his life and folks he’s met on the road.
Sure, there’s moments of chaotic fun in his shows, but there’s always heartfelt songs like this, too.
His raucous nights around his fake campfire on Peel St are building their own legend at the Tamworth Country Music Festival each year.
Though he’s got a repertoire of more than a hundred songs up his sleeve, you can always count on Woody to deliver a version in his own unique style.
On nights where the crowd is keen to go there, Woody busts out his weirder and woolier stories.
