Tom has just been announced as a 2021 Golden Guitar Finalist for Heritage Song of the Year for his single 'She Gave Us The Song', a collaboration with Lee Kernaghan and Sara Storer and written by Garth Porter and Kelly Dixon.

In 2018 Tom won two Golden Guitar Awards for his single Never Never Land, a duet with Luke O'Shea.

Tom is also an official ambassador of Dolly's Dream. Moved by the tragic passing of Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett, who took her young life after being relentlessly cyber-bullied, Tom put pen to paper and released the single ‘Speak Up’ with Sara Storer. To date, over $20,000 have been raised from the sale of the song, which have been donated to Dolly's Dream.

Owned and operated by Tom Curtain, Katherine Outback Experience (KOE) is an outback show that celebrates life on the land through real horse-starting and working dog demonstrations entwined with live music and humorous bush tales. KOE has won Tourism Northern Territory's Best Tourist Attraction Award for the last two years and took out bronze at the National Tourism Awards.

The show is based in Katherine from April to the end of October over the ‘Dry Season’ months.  Over the Wet Season summer months, the team hit the road, touring the outback show in conjunction with Tom's music.
