Tris Beaumont

Tris Beaumont is an Adelaide-based singer-songwriter, guitarist and performer whose work spans alt-country, Americana, folk, blues and rockabilly. A distinctive storyteller with a knack for finding the extraordinary in the everyday, Beaumont’s songs balance heart-on-sleeve honesty, dark humour and vivid, often unsettling narratives. Beaumont fronts Adelaide Americana outfit The Flying Squad, a five-piece band blending Australian storytelling with country, blues and rockabilly influences. The band has earned radio play and critical attention for songs including “Anxiety Prayer” and “Rinse, Wash, Repeat”, and has appeared at festivals including Take Me Home and The Bend Country Music Festival, alongside support slots for touring international acts including The Mountain Goats. Beaumont also performs with Le Coyote, an outlaw-Americana duo featuring drummer Katya Beaumont. Stripped back to guitar, vocals and stand-up drums, the project takes a darker, more visceral approach to country and blues, drawing on influences ranging from Nick Cave and Tom Waits to Waylon Jennings. Across these projects, Beaumont’s music is united by its unmistakable voice, narrative depth and commitment to songs that find humour, humanity and beauty in life’s rougher edges.
