Avantdale Bowling Club is the brainchild of New Zealand artist Tom Scott, known for his seamless blend of jazz and hip-hop with introspective and storytelling lyricism. Emerging from the Auckland music scene, the project has carved out a unique space where the storytelling prowess of hip-hop meets the improvisation and instrumental virtuosity of jazz. The self-titled debut album, "Avantdale Bowling Club," released in 2018, was praised for its honest depiction of personal growth, fatherhood, and struggles with mental health, all layered over lush, live jazz instrumentation.

The project's authenticity and craftsmanship were further solidified with subsequent releases, including the earnest exploration of Scott's roots and the passage of time in "Years Gone By." Avantdale Bowling Club's commitment to evolution and collaboration shone brightly with "TREES" and its counterpart, "TREES: The Remix EP," showcasing a dynamic range of reinterpretations by an array of producers, further expanding the sonic landscape Scott and his ensemble could explore. With the "LIVE" album, the project captured the electrifying energy of their stage performances, heralding Avantdale Bowling Club as a staple of innovation in the New Zealand music scene and an influential voice in contemporary music at large.
