THOMAS HINDS is a hard-touring troubadour surviving on songs from the heart and a passion believing each day will be exactly what is needed, both bitter and sweet. A singer/songwriter out of northern Georgia, Thomas has been building a reputation for lyrical depth and an original voice musically. 2025 was a year of fresh cover takes on classics like “Buckets of Rain” and “Use Somebody,” as well as an EP of live tracks from select shows over the last half decade, titled Along the Road. As 2026 unfolds, Thomas is finishing the final details on his highly anticipated follow-up album to Where Do We Go From Here (2023). Hotel Room Songs features thirteen tracks—ten full band songs plus an acoustic track leftover from the 2023 FAME sessions in Muscle Shoals, AL, and two additional songs recorded with Miles Landrum (West End Sound) in Atlanta. He’ll be out on the road in support of the album throughout the southeast and up and down the east coast. Thomas is also the author of two books of poetry and prose. Follow his writing on Hindsight Musings.
ELI ELKUS is a Musical Storyteller, SongCraftsman, and Folk Activist. He began sculpting his craft as a young troubadour fishin’ for songs by the riversides and busking in the streets of New England. It was here the love of folk music and storytelling found him, connecting with perfect strangers through meter, melody, and merit-making story and song. Music for the people, by the people. And so it went. The ramblin’ folk singer has played and told for multi-generational audiences across the USA and beyond, freewheelin’ in his road sweet home ‘JeBus’ with his trusty hound Bronco. His recent works have been in cahoots with his partner in life and songcrafting Lara Wahl, including their first album together, Postcards From Heaven.
