Amarillo Band

Amarillo is the project of vocalist Jac Tonks and guitarist Nick O’Mara (Raised By Eagles, The Butcherbirds). Formed as a vehicle for their song writing, Amarillo's critically acclaimed 2016 release ‘Eyes Still Fixed’ was produced by Shane O’Mara and received four stars in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. The album, written mostly on the road touches on lyrical themes of friendship and love, isolation and distance, family and the irreversible loss of home. Their live performance is at times hushed and intimate, with British folk influences of finger style acoustic guitar, dark tremolo and ethereal vocals. Though the band is song focused, during live shows the ensemble does explore jamming psychedelic aspects where the band takes flight.
