Mike Thomas is an emerging Country/Americana artist steeped in tradition. Drawing from a wide array of influences and experiences, his music has been best described as “eclectic country with a vintage vibe.” Growing up in Knoxville, TN, Thomas’ musical journey has taken a unique path. He moved to Nashville in 2004 intent on pursuing a career as a songwriter but quickly grew discouraged 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 naïve and learned some tough lessons in those days.” 

After walking away from music for ten plus years to pursue his own small business, Thomas eventually got back into the swing of things in 2017. He draws influences from artists such as John Prine, Merle Haggard, Bruce Springsteen, Delbert McClinton, and others, but he admits he is inspired and influenced by all types of music as long as the songs feel heartfelt and honest. One listen to Thomas’ music demonstrates the importance of authenticity in his art. Thomas’ raw vocals coupled with his genuine writing style give his songs a nostalgic feel that listeners cannot help but connect with. Mix that carefully crafted lyricism with real-life stories, and fans both old and new are sure to find that the music resonates on a deep level.
