Jamie MacDowell and Tom Thum are two honest, unpolished but highly skilled performers, simply doing what they love. Jamie’s brand of heartfelt songwriting and melodic fingerwork is elevated when combined with Tom’s heavy hitting, world-class beatboxing. Armed only with a guitar, a distinctive singing voice and a versatile voicebox able to convey any instrument from a trumpet to drums, this duo is unique: Tom is a one-man orchestra, accompanying his lyrical counterpart Jamie’s beautiful melodies and words. The effect is like nothing you’ve seen or heard before. Playing off each other’s talents, Jamie MacDowell and Tom Thum are the perfect musical match and their live show is made even stronger by their utterly irresistible charm and wit.

Over the last five years, they have spread their music from the Swiss Alps and Berlin Basements, across the Edinburgh Fringe and London to the Cape of Good Hope to Hong Kong. In the touring process, their personalities have somewhat combined and just when you think you have them figured out, the sweet one says something dirty, or the confident one loses his place. After their sell-out show at 2014’s Edinburgh Fringe, one reviewer said: “I really can’t recommend this show highly enough. Seeing two such talented people having great fun on stage is an absolute joy. See them now, because soon you won’t be able to get a ticket for love nor money.” (Broadway Baby)
