Tim Freedman is the lead singer of award winning Australian band The Whitlams, whose appeal reaches audiences of all ages and tastes.

His lyrics have been described as having a "charming cynicism", enhanced by an instinct for a poignant melody and a highly individual musical style. The Whitlams won Best Group at the 1998 ARIA Awards, as well as Song of the Year and Best Independent Release for their 3rd album "Eternal Nightcap".

This album recently came in at #17 of the JJJ Hottest Australian Albums of all time & came in at #58 on the JJJ Hottest Songs of all Time.

Tim's occasional solo performances are a treat for any music lover, as his intimate banter, caustic wit, honest vocals and stripped-back piano stylings have captivated many an audience. The Whitlams recorded output spans 7 albums. The last album The Whitlams released was “Truth, Beauty & A Picture of You – Best Of The Whitlams” & it has been described by Tim Freedman as his “ultimate Whitlams mixtape”. Complete with detailed liner notes telling the stories behind the songs The Whitlams’ Best Of debuted at number 3 in the ARIA Album Charts and remained in the Top 10 for six weeks running.

Voodoo Sons, recently returning from their performance at the Byron Bay Falls Festival, are about to release their debut single Slow Motion. They have always been a band that are popular with the northern beaches crowd and are one to watch out for.
