Hannah Thomas
Hannah Thomas might be found under guitar-based roots music on iTunes, but this Georgia-based singer-songwriter can´t be pigeonholed. She adds other genres to her mix: ´70s rock, a little punk, blues and a dash of country. The hardworking musician played more than 200 shows in the past 18 months, in countless venues, and still had energy to record seven tracks for her newest EP, Goodbye on Wasted Time. Dedication, and being true to herself, have endeared her to fans across the country. ″I feel like being honest has helped me connect to my fans in a more real way. When I quit filtering my writing process and began to write the things I was feeling, I believe all my fans-gay and straight-could tell. They began to relate to my music more because it came from the heart,″ she tells GO. Thomas has shared bills with the Indigo Girls, Don Dixon & Marti Jones, Danielle Howle, Michelle Malone, Antigone Rising, Zac Brown and many more, but her biggest stage might have been the halftime show during an Atlanta Falcons/ Green Bay Packers game at the Georgia Dome. In addition to her upcoming tour dates in the southern U.S., Thomas will perform solo and with her band at Knoxville Pride (Jun 21), a Gay Games event in Akron (Aug 14) and Key West Women´s Week (Aug 31-Sept 7). -KL
