Busby Marou @ Peter’s Players

Tom Busby and Jeremy Marou have traveled the far corners of the globe. Queensland boys BUSBY MAROU have forged a reputation as one of the hardest working musical acts in Australia. Tom’s playful onstage presence combined with Jeremy’s freakish instrumental ability has cemented their reputation as one of the most loved live bands to come out of Australia in recent times.

They have created a completely unique vibe based on Tom’s everyman’s approach to storytelling interspersed with Jeremy’s guitar virtuosity.

They sell out shows everywhere from Surry Hills to Cairns and have an incredibly loyal and diverse following. The boys have shared the stage with an impressive list of support tours including the likes of Dolly Parton (USA), James Blunt (UK), Passenger (UK), KD Lang (CAN), The Beach Boys (USA), The Zac Brown Band (USA) and Elton John.

Also, big favourites on the Australian summer festival circuit listed as highlights recently at Byron Bay Bluesfest, Queenscliff Music Festival, Caloundra Music Festival and Woodford Folk Festival.
