Fresh off of her back-to-back JMA Artist of the Year awards in 2023 & 2024 (taking place at The Grand Ole Opry), and 5X 2025 International Folk Music Award nominations, Abbie Thomas, is a rising singer-songwriter and genre-bending recording artist who is gaining international attention and accolades for live performances, lyricism and visual content.  Mixing soulful vocals and hints of Blues, Jazz, and a vibe from the songwriters of the 70s, music lovers are connecting with her songwriting whether it’s via studio recordings or live performances.  She is currently touring regionally in the Midwest USA.

California-born, Midwest-raised, a nomad from nowhere and everywhere, other lost yet hopeful souls may find themselves listening to her catalog while on a road trip with a newfound love, while drinking a bottle of wine in a rainstorm, or when in search of clarity and strength.  Her storytelling and versatile musicianship shines just like a mended heart and turns strangers into kindred spirits.

Thomas’ highly anticipated & fan-funded album was released on September 27, 2024, and featured the title track, “Not Gonna Lie”, which debuted at #3 on the iTunes R&B/Soul chart.  This project has earned nearly 200,000 streams on all platforms – as an independent artist.  You can stream her music on all major streaming platforms.

The Crazy Hearts Band consists of full-time musicians Simon Kauffman Hurst (keys/organ/kick pedal), bassist Isaac Fisher, and guitarist Rafael Chávez.
