Anna Thomas is only 13 years old and that makes her rather mature voice a pleasant surprise. She is apparently working with some talented backup musicians, who only add to the attraction of her performance. “Little Red” is a fun tune that is enhanced by good musicianship.
“My Circle” seems to fit Thomas quite well. She has a strong and confident presentation that belies her years. “Break Apart” succeeds on the strong drum beat and the great atmosphere added by the guitar. If this listener had to vote on early experience, the vote for “best Anna Thomas song” would go to “Break Apart.”
She was born in Memphis and now lives in the Dallas region. Her father played with bands and her musical heritage goes back to a grandfather who was a band director and session player in Memphis. Granddad played on Stax record sessions, including Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes and The Box Tops sessions, according to information provided by Thomas.
She is currently working on a full-length CD and covers some of the better known artists. She plans to be at the front of a band for which she will provide vocals and keyboards. Thomas will be part of the Chick Singers Night at the Dallas House of Blues on June 21. A few years of experience and growth in her voice could make Anna Thomas a well-known name in the genre. She has the songwriting part down.
