Show Opener: Aaron Newsome

This November, award-winning singer-songwriter Abbie Thomas will celebrate the release of her debut holiday EP Kids On Christmas with a soulful, jazz-inspired Midwest tour with support from her full band, The Crazy Hearts.

The show will blend holiday classics like I’ll Be Home for Christmas and White Christmas with original holiday songs, all wrapped in Thomas’ signature retro soul/jazz flair. Known for her “husky and ageless vocal, sitting somewhere between Diana Ross and Kacey Musgraves” (Paul Jackson, FATEA), Thomas will set aside her instruments for this run, putting her one-of-a-kind voice front and center. She will be joined by Simon Kauffman Hurst on piano, Isaac Fisher on upright bass, and Arthur Schroeder on drums for a festive, heartwarming holiday experience.
