The Mike Thomas Band Biography
Mike Thomas just released his sophomore LP, "Diamonds," in July 2023. Since its release, Diamonds has received widespread critical acclaim from publications like Wide Open Country, Americana Highways, The Boot, The Bluegrass Situation, Glide Magazine and many more.
Thomas grew up in Knoxville, TN and moved to Nashville in 2004 intent on pursuing a career as a songwriter, but quickly grew disillusioned and set music aside for an extended period. Thomas recalls, "I didn't listen to the Country music of the day. I had no frame of reference for the types of songs publishers and artists were looking for. I was naive and learned some tough lessons in those days."
After walking away from music for ten plus years to start a family and a small business, Thomas got back into the swing of things in 2018, when he met producer, Tres Sasser, who convinced him to begin writing and recording again. The two have since recorded a pair of albums together - the self-released "Three Reasons" (2020), and now "Diamonds," released by Electric 3 Records. Both albums were recorded in Franklin, TN with members of Thomas' regular backing band and a few special guests.
Thomas' influences are as varied as they are well-chosen and his songwriting and sound have been compared to legends such as Rodney Crowell, Joe Ely, Tom Petty, Guy Clark and Townes van Zandt.
