Les Thomas

  • Wesley Anne 250 High Street Northcote, VIC, 3070 Australia (map)

“Les Thomas's superpower is as a lyricist – simple yet sophisticated, accessible yet uncompromising, ultimately honest and always with something powerful to say.” Ruth Hazleton

 “A superb artist. A real giver.” Tim Thorpe, Vital Bits, 3RRR

 "All My Friends Are Superstars" is Les Thomas's celebration and musical love letter to the rich community that surrounds us here in Naarm/Melbourne. The party will reach its crescendo at the Wesley Anne on Sunday, 29 October with a sensational full band consisting of Stephen Grady on bass, Justin Olsson on drums and Joshua Jones on lead guitar playing all 11 tracks from the brand new album.

After an extremely successful first outing at George Lane in St Kilda for the Man on Fire single and video launch, Les and his band are perfectly primed to deliver a long-awaited North-side launch.

This new collection of songs demonstrates a refreshing depth and breath to Thomas’s songwriting. His intense lyrical style, and impassioned musical presentation enthral with deftly woven stories that we can't walk away from. His songs remain on our lips for days after they are heard. Les Thomas is the champion of generations of Melbourne songwriters through his renowned Unpaved Songwriter Sessions. And the passion he brings to writing and presenting the songs of our times is an experience you will feel rewards your soul. If you're after a deeply satisfying musical experience, don't miss this intimate, one of a kind event.
