‘Small Country Hometown’ is the most recent alt country release by Tiarn Toni. The song explores the universal feeling of leaving one’s hometown in search of a personal journey, rather than living out childhood expectations. It reflects on how the things one disliked growing up may become cherished as time goes by. With lap steel guitar and a cinematic touch, the song celebrates the tranquility and sense of community found in country life. In essence, it serves as a reminder to be cautious of what you wish for, as you may end up longing to return to where you started. Tiarn Toni is on Jamsphere Radio rotation with the track, ‘Small Country Hometown’.
Tiarn Toni is a singer-songwriter and producer based in Melbourne, Victoria. She is a multi-disciplinary artist who explores music through the lens of dance and design. Her vocals have been described as a “magical blend of coldness, melancholy, and defiance,” while her production adopts a nuanced fusion of alternative country and indie folk. Tiarn’s genre-twisting style leaves the listener with a mix of emotions, reminiscent of the past but hopeful for the future.
Tiarn’s journey into music began a few years ago after an injury ended her career as a dance teacher, leading her to search for a new purpose. She returned to university to study a Diploma of Music, where she learned the finer details of composition and songwriting. This eventually led to the success of her debut compositional work titled “Paracosm” for contemporary dance company Scimm. Dance in 2022.
As a solo artist, Tiarn has released a series of genre-bending singles over the past 2 years. She cites her past experiences growing up on a sugar cane farm in regional Queensland as the inspiration behind her gradual pivot into the alternative country music scene.
