MOOD \u2014 “OUT OF HERE”
\u201cOut of Here\u201d kicks off with shades of Don Henley, driven by a classic cross-stick groove that immediately gives you those \u201cThe Boys of Summer\u201d vibes.\u000f\u000fRight out of the gate, Duncan\u2019s vocal plants the song firmly in the engine room of your heart, before exploding into a powerful chorus that hits like Mike Tyson \u2014 a wall of distorted guitars, driving drums and raw emotion.\u000f\u000fIt\u2019s the kind of song that leaves you positively charged. It keeps you believing, keeps you moving and makes you feel ready to take on whatever is in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Duncan Toombs has rapidly emerged as one of Australia\u2019s most powerful and emotive voices in country music. With a rich, soul-stirring tone and heartfelt delivery, he creates an immediate and unforgettable connection with his audience.\u000f\u000fOriginally rising to prominence in his twenties as one of Australia\u2019s most in-demand country guitarists, Duncan has now stepped confidently from the back of the stage into the spotlight as a powerhouse vocalist and award-winning singer-songwriter.\u000f\u000fHis debut solo album, Steel on Steel, released in January 2023, debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Country Albums Chart and became the second-highest-selling country album globally. In 2024, the album earned Duncan two Golden Guitar Awards \u2014 Heritage Song of the Year for \u201c1861\u201d and Music Video of the Year for \u201cSteel on Steel\u201d \u2014 along with the People\u2019s Choice Album of the Year.\u000f\u000fLater that year, Duncan captured the hearts of millions as a standout artist on Channel 7\u2019s The Voice Australia. His performance of his original song \u201cSteel on Steel\u201d reached nearly three million viewers and went viral across TikTok and Instagram, introducing his music to a passionate new global audience.\u000f\u000fDuncan has recently returned from an exciting four months touring Canada with award-winning Canadian country artist Gord Bamford, winning over new audiences along the way.\u000f\u000fNow, with \u201cI Go Home\u201d leading the rollout of his forthcoming second solo album, Roller Coaster, Duncan is entering an exciting new chapter. There\u2019s a growing sense of momentum among fans and fellow artists as he continues a journey built around music, authenticity and self-belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new journey \u2014 from the back of the stage as a guitarist to standing out front as an independent country artist \u2014 is as much about self-belief as it is about music.
Without belief in ourselves, this world can fill our minds with negativity and make even the smallest of dreams feel impossible.
This song is me shouting at myself \u2014 reminding me that no matter what life throws at me, no matter how many demons bear down on me, and no matter how alone or lost I feel, if I believe in myself and keep focused on the light on the horizon, I\u2019ll find a way to move forward.\u201d
