An unpredictable underground artist currently living in the UK, beneath the towering cranes and rusty shipping containers of Southampton docks since forming The Uplifter in 2004. Who can one minute be found producing music in the studio with ethereal, dark undertones... The next, jumping barefoot, two feet off the ground behind a drum kit and decks, playing some of the most uplifting and obscure songs you’re ever likely to hear at a live show.
The Uplifter live shows are fierce yet playfully-delivered, with bass firmly in the driver's seat and live drums at the helm. Both simultaneously joyful and ferocious live shows channelled into a unique stage performance fuelled by a mission to uncover and expose reggae, ska, dub and punk-influenced music from the underground to crowds all over the world, culminating in an exquisite energy that has taken Earwaker from the UK to Europe and as far as New York and New Zealand.
Collaborations include three music videos created alongside Tom's brother and award-winning filmmaker, Jake Earwaker. The Uplifter discography includes X2 vinyl releases, all of which are available in the online shop. Earwaker also plays drums in Sublifter as well as co-founding festival favourites Still Moving DJs
