“I’ve always wanted to record a Christmas album, and this is the fulfillment of that dream,” Thomas shares. “These songs are the soundtrack to my own childhood holidays, and I wanted to stay true to the originals while putting my own spin on the vocals. I hope listeners feel the same warmth and nostalgia I did while recording it.”

Known worldwide for his soaring voice on Starship’s “We Built This City,” “Sara,” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” Thomas also brought Jefferson Starship fans timeless rock anthems like “Jane,” “No Way Out,” “Stranger,” “Find Your Way Back,” and “Layin’ It On The Line.” His tenure as lead singer for The Elvin Bishop Band produced the 1976 hit “Fooled Around and Fell in Love,” a track many don’t realize was driven by Thomas’ powerful, soulful vocals.
