With a style encapsulating the heart of Blues, the energy of Rock & Roll, and the sophistication of Jazz, Thomas can command a solo stage or drive the rhythm in his dynamic three-piece ensemble.
His musical journey has seen him share the limelight with stalwarts such as Albert Lee, Dan Patlansky, Elles Bailey, The Cinelli Brothers, Connor Selby, Brave Rival, Catfish, Robin Bibi, Mike Mayfield, and even household names like Anton du Beke of Strictly Come Dancing fame.
In 2024, Thomas was shortlisted in the Top 5 of Emerging Act of the Year at the UK Blues Awards. The release of his debut band album late 2023 gained over 13,000 monthly listeners and received air play from Planet Rock and BBC Introducing radio stations.
In 2022, Thomas's debut solo EP, 'Be My Home', not only acquired airwave love from Jazz FM (Blues and Boogie - David Freeman) and Blues Radio UK (Richard Dunning - Chairman of Blues UK Federation), but also secured him three nominations at the UK Blues Awards 2023. With nods for Best Young, Emerging, and Acoustic Blues Artist, it's evident Thomas is a force to be reckoned with in the British Blues panorama.
