SuperString Artist Patrick Thomas is opening for the famed Black Crowes, N. Mississippi Allstars, and Govt. Mule at the City Stages Festival in Birmingham, Alabama on Sunday June 19th. The East Coast tour scheduled for the follwing week has become a Southern Tour as well. Patrick's band has been kicking it out all along the East Coast, the Midwest, and at such Southwest venues as South By Southwest, so it is no surprise to us that he and the Theory were selected to open at this special event. Patrick's talent is reflected in the five Detroit Music Awards he was nominated for when his album, "Ghost Town Radio" was released last year, including Best New Artist and Best Pop-Rock Recording, as well as his winning the coveted Best New Artist Award at Royal Oak venue Memphis Smoke. Patrick is currently in the studio working on new material, and it's looking to be even better than his first release.

In addition, Patrick has been selected (along with SuperString artist Katrina Mari) for inclusion in a prestigious

web music campaign sponsored by a major beer company. Stay tuned for more details! In all, we're pretty proud of what Patrick has accomplished in a short time, and we are eagerly looking forward to more great things from him. There's a huge buzz developing about Patrick and his band, and it's well-deserved. You can check out the band's tour schedule by clicking the link on our "schedule" page.
