Thomas’ vocal style shows influence from a variety of musical genre including jazz, blues, soul, pop, and gospel music. Accompanying Ms. Thomas on guitar is Brent Womac, who has previously performed at the Moneta, and on piano is her father, Chris Thomas. The public is invited to attend this enchanting evening of musical entertainment.
