Abbie Thomas

Abbie Thomas played Canon in D at five years old, by ear. There’s no

technicality behind her music – pure emotion, raw truth. Heartache fueled by a

relentless need to heal, her instruments and note pads are her therapist. It’s

cheaper and more effective to write, than to sit in an office with a stranger

talking about “should of’s” and “could of’s”.

Her piano ballads, guitar finger-picking and soulful voice are mixed with simple

percussion rhythms that are reminiscent of a heart beat. The soul wrenching

story telling was created only for walls to hear, but is now out for a different kind

of stranger, the public. Instead of hiding, she’s now sharing, with hopes that

others won’t feel so alone in the ups and downs that take tolls and years off of

our lives. Even light hearted, upbeat pop melodies with hints of melancholy find

themselves intertwined in music fed by bits of r&b, jazz and the songwriters of

the 70’s.

California born, midwest raised, a nomad from nowhere and everywhere, other

lost souls may find themselves listening to her original music while enjoying a

bottle of wine, on a long road trip, or while in mourning of lost love. Live shows,

though – from listening rooms to full band festivals – her versatility shines just

like a mended heart, and turns strangers into kindred spirits.
