Artist description Mike Thomas is a solo acoustic artist, or he can front a full size band. The Mike Thomas Band is an extraordinary group of talented musicians who jam together, play together professionally, and inspire each other--and thrill those who hear them. The band is an evolving musical entity: the music is fresh and continually adds new dimensions. We like to call Mike’s sound new old-school organic soul. From a lifetime of exposure to divergent styles of music, and bringing together elements from jazz, country, folk, rhythm & blues and rock, the musically erudite sound of Mike Thomas is textured, multi-layered, and introspective.

Artist History Mike has been vocalist/ guitarist for the harmony-rich, groove-laden Roundbale Conspiracy for the last four years, and is the bassist/ vocalist for the exuberant rock-trio juggernaut, Head. He has also fronted his own band Sam Jones & the Jones Family. Mike is a powerful, soulful artist and performer. His extensive creative input on Roundbale’s CD, As Fresh As It Gets, honed his song writing style (reminiscent of Jeff Buckley but with unmistakeable McCartney and Garcia influence), and his vocal impressions of Aretha Frankilin, Axl Rose, and Joe Cocker have drawn raves and standing ovations from audiences across New York state.
