Jay Thomas

On March 17th, dreamy alt-pop artist Jay Thomas, winner of South Florida Gay News Best Artist 2021, returns to the North Beach Bandshell to perform his sensuous upcoming concept album, Butterfly Parade, in its entirety, the culmination of his Knight New Work Grant awarded in 2020. Butterfly Parade sings of life, love, loss, and death through emotive vocal harmonies with electronic beats and string arrangements that evoke fantasy and escapism, while addressing grief, trauma, and self-actualization. Come enjoy this colorful cathartic concert of music, dance, and light that inspires hope during unprecedented loss of people, purpose, and confidence.
