Abbie Thomas: Midwest Made at The Acorn

Independent singer-songwriter, Abbie Thomas, mixes pop melodies with soulful vocals and hints of R&B, Jazz, and a vibe from the songwriters of the 70's. Touring regionally from Michigan to Oklahoma to Nashville, TN, she has most recently opened for Laine Hardy, Girl Named Tom, and Cathy Richardson of Jefferson Starship. In addition to playing her original music, she’s realing in new fans with her own take on covers from Chris Stapleton and The Beatles, to Carole King and Norah Jones.

She is a two-time singer-songwriting finalist at Michigan’s Acorn Theater (2019 & 2022) where she earned a fan in judge and Grammy winner, Jim Peterik. She released her independent, self funded debut album, “Who I Am”, in June of 2021, in connection with a series of music videos. The standout video, “Fireflies” earned her a Hollywood Music in Media Independent nomination in 2021, as well as, a cluster of film festival selections and awards.

Her first self-produced project, the “Dirty Little Things” EP, was released May 13, 2022, in connection with a 130+ tour date schedule in 2022. While touring, she is also writing arrangements for the Elkhart, Indiana Symphony for 2023, and is booking for her 2023 summer tour with her backing band.
