John
"JT" Thomas
Producer, keyboard
John "JT" Thomas was born in the arid desert of Southern California.
Far from being parched by his environment, his juicy keyboard style landed
him a spot at the age of twenty in the infamous Captain Beefheart’s Magic
Band! This allowed him to express and explore a level of creativity unknown
to most young musicians.
Several years later he was initiated into the seminal "synth"
band, Sparks. In 1990, "JT" was invited to join Bruce Hornsby’s
Band. He has been playing with and contributing to Hornsby’s recordings
and shows ever since.
John has also won multiple gold and platinum recordings with Tracy Chapman,
Bruce Hornsby, Rita Coolidge, Captain Beefheart and Sparks!! His performances
with Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Michael Bolton, Emmylou Harris
and others, has earned him a reputation as a multidimensional artist.
John is as equally in demand as a composer, too! His name is frequently
seen whizzing by in the credits of your favorite television shows.
John originally met David Landia when both were involved in the formation
of an LA blues/rock band. That project marked the beginning of a strong
friendship that has blossomed into a very powerful partnership!
John is now the driving force behind what is being created at LandiaMusic.
His production and engineering skills, combined with his awesome keyboard
talent , make him the ultimate weapon in delivering this new style of
pop music!
When you listen... you will hear....
How sweet it can get !!!
