The Boy in Blue is Back!
Listen to the Journey: Tom Nethersole’s New EP & His Return to The Open Table Podcast
The incredible artist known as “The Boy in Blue,” has just released a phenomenal new EP, “Father, Son & the space in between.” This new work is an intimate and powerful journey that navigates themes of hurting, healing, and hope. It’s already being hailed as a masterful example of queer storytelling at its finest.

In this must-listen episode, Tom joins host Craig Brown to share the intimate story behind the music, diving into his creative process and the personal and professional journey that shaped the EP. He’ll also discuss how the music bravely explores life’s contradictions, including themes of love & disappointment, hope & grief, queer romance & religion, and the push-and-pull of family.

Get ready for an insightful, vulnerable, and moving conversation that offers the perfect complement to the EP.
