Musician Tom Busby’s waterfront property has hit the market just days after the Busby Marou star launched his first-ever solo tour.

Located at Currumbin Waters, the property was listed for sale by expressions of interest on October 28 with Realty Blue Burleigh agents Mick and Mitch Brace.

The listing went live just days after Busby stepped out on his own for the first time at the Lighthouse Rock Festival at Burnett Heads in Queensland on October 18, 10 days before his Gold Coast property hit the market.

He will set off on his solo The Lottery Tour, which kicks off in Sydney on November 7.

He then plays at Buttai, Wollongong and Murwillumbah in NSW, Brisbane and the Gold Coast in Queensland, and Bellarine, Castlemaine and Melbourne in Victoria.

His debut album Rockhampton Hangover is available to order online now.

Busby and Jeremy Marou, both from Rockhampton, recorded their debut album The Blue Road under the name Busby Marou at Pete Murray’s personal studios in Byron Bay in 2007.

It was produced by Anthony Lycenko who has worked with artists such as Murray and David Bowie.

Busby Marou were revered for their folk, soul, and roots-driven style.

Busby and wife Huma bought the Currumbin Waters property for $743,000 in May 2016, listing it for rent at $1000 a week in April last year, according to publicly-available property records.
