Tom Lark

aka Shannon Fowler, Shannon Matthew Vanya


The person behind the artist name “Tom Lark” is Shannon Fowler, who has experienced the music industry at its best and its worst, but kept making music through it all. His work continues to find new fans internationally and he is equally well known as a producer for popular acts such as Randa and Georgia Lines.

His career has gone from synth-driven indie guitar music that stirred early interest in Australia, through to the drifting, acoustic sound of recent releases and new online attention.
