Overview
Need a band but can't afford a band? Hire me. Most single acts have a limited sound pallete but mine is full-range using backing tracks I recorded myself to accompany my guitar and keyboard. The vocals are full, the beat is driving, and many songs can pack a dance floor. I play music from the sixties through the nineties with many tunes rarely done by a live act.

Gig Length: 90 - 240 minutes

What to Expect
I arrive around three hours prior to scheduled play time. For audiences, I play and sing songs at an easy listening volume. The tone of the song selection may be adapted to the needs of the room and desires of individuals. During the latter part of the show, the music may become louder and more danceable. Audience participation and encores are not uncommon. Teardown and loading after the gig can be 1 1/2 hours duration.
About
Thomas has been playing professionally for five decades after obtaining music education during high school and at Bellevue College. He spent twenty of those years playing clubs full-time in Alaska. As a multi-instrumentalist, Thomas plays keyboards, guitars, and saxophones on stage. In his recording studio, he plays all instruments and vocals. Thomas uses only his own custom backing tracks with some songs taking up to a week to record. The resulting sound quality is unmatched by anyone in the area.
Additional Booking Notes
I provide lighting and sound. I can bring a stage riser ( 6' x 4' ) if the venue needs it. My PA has an 18" sub-woofer and two 15" full-range JBL speakers on stands running stereo. Being loud enough is never a problem.
