Soul rocker Bryan Thomas is a punk clown fool from New York's capital city of Albany. Babylon is his new, live acoustic album; Spy Love Box is the sequel of demos available for free download at bryanthomas.com.
The Albany Times Union named Bryan "Best Male Singer-Songwriter" shortly after he released his acoustic hip-hop debut Radio Plastic Jennifer in 1999.
The follow-up soul rock epic Ones and Zeros was Metroland Magazine's "Album of the Year" in 2002.
He was recently in the studio with punk legend Tommy Ramone, making a special guest appearance on a track produced by Ramone for New York City's genre-smashing neo-punksters Collider.
Bryan's music can be heard on the opening track of the Black Rock Coalition's Bronze Buckaroo Rides Again which also includes a track by BRC founder/ Living Colour guitar wizard Vernon Reid.
He has three songs on the double-live Pazfest: A New Orleans Tribute to Joni Mitchell recorded on a steamy Louisiana night at the Howlin' Wolf in the summer of 2000.
Samples of Bryan's music, video and poetry can be found online at his award-winning web site bryanthomas.com, and at TheHiddenCity.com, a webzine for underground arts in Albany, New York. Thomas is a founding member of the Hidden City collective.

Hey Bryan, diggin the new tunes. Motherjudge has needed an anthem for some time now! There's a special place in my heart for those Wed nights...cya round!
So your name escaped from between my lips yesterday as I drove through the west michigan countryside with the effervescent and insightful Julia Brown talking songwriting and musician life. You were high on the list of my primary songwriting influences.
New record coming out anytime soon? Maybe join me for the 50 Songs in 90 Days challenge? Talk about submersing yourself in creativity... :-)

Just wanted to drop by and wish you a Happy New Year. You took some great photos as Rev Hall. Thanks for reppin' the scene for so long. The Babylon video cracks me up every time...It's so Albany.
Bon Jour!
