Abbie Thomas
Independent singer-songwriter Abbie Thomas started on the road from part-time hobbyist to full time musician after appearing in The Acorn’s 2019 Singer-Songwriter Competition. She earned the vibrant praises of Grammy winner Jim Peterik in that contest, which was a catalyst for turning music into Abbie’s full-time career. She mixes pop melodies with soulful vocals and hints of R&B, Jazz, and a vibe from the songwriters of the ‘70s. Touring regionally, she has most recently opened for Laine Hardy, Girl Named Tom, and Cathy Richardson of Jefferson Starship.

Abbie currently keeps a 130+ per year live show calendar. She recently composed for and performed with the Elkhart County Symphony Orchestra. Abbie just wrapped up her first short film score and is currently composing for a collaboration with the South Bend, IN Symphony Quartet.

Abbie’s standout music video, "Fireflies," has earned over 10 nominations for awards, including a "Best Female Solo Artist" nomination in 2021 for the California Music & Video Awards, and a "Best Independent Music Video" nomination for the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. She was also recently nominated for four Josie Music Awards (the equivalent to The Grammy’s for independent artists): Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “Dirty Little Things,” Entertainer of the Year, and Songwriter Achievement for her song “Lucky Penny.” The awards show will take place at The Grand Ole Opry House October of 2023.

In early 2023, Abbie surpassed 100,000 streams on major platforms including iTunes, Spotify and YouTube. New music is currently being recorded, and slated to begin releasing in late 2023.
