Event information

With three CDs of original songs released in less than a year, brothers, Eddie and Frank Thomas are telling unique stories from a baby boomers' perspective. They grew up in the northeast Mississippi foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and aren't sugar coating or over dramatizing their experiences. With a wide-eyed, mischievous but serious point of view they say, "The stories we'll be telling are all mostly true."

During a thirty-year, award-winning career as Thomasfilms, Inc., Eddie and Frank learned to paint pictures. Original sound tracks always personalized the Thomas brother's film and video productions, but Angels on the Backroads, a 4CD tribute to blues and jazz, took a different tact and moved the music to the forefront. Angels on the Backroads became a multimedia stage show that spanned 12years and was featured on National Public Radio's Weekend Edition Sunday.

Eddie and Frank leave film and silver screen behind for this spring 2012 tour of the UK. With guitar, bass and Southern accent they take you on an American journey of story and song through the eyes of brothers from Mississippi.

Plus support from The Lonesome Georginas. http://www.myspace.com/lonesomegeorginas
