Kelly Thomas

I really need someone to write a great biography for me, because I'll be danged if I can write one for myself. 

Here are my projects; past and present--

Coming soon!  OHMYGAWD, I'm doing another collaborative project in 2012!  Jasmine Poole (Wonky Tonk) and I are teaming up to write and put together an acoustic based folky band (think Head and Heart/Civil Wars)!  I'm very excited to get started on this.  Stay tuned!

Kelly Thomas and The Fabulous Pickups-Alt Country. My bandmates; John Bedinghaus, Jeff Boling, and Sylvia Mitchell. We released our debut album, "Fly", engineered and produced by Mike Montgomery, in October of 2011.
