Austin Thomason

It was when he first heard B.B. King’s Live at the Regal album that Austin found his musical inspiration. Since then, he has rooted himself in music from Delta greats like Son House, Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters.  

Beginning his performing career at 12 years of age, Austin first learned the art of the jam at the Baked Potato Jazz Club in Studio City, playing at the feet of modern day legends such as Artur Menezes, Josh Smith and Philip Sayce.  Since then, he has been performing professionally with his own band, the Austin Thomason Trio, at the Baked Potato and other iconic clubs like the Maui Sugarmill Saloon in Tarzana.  

At 17 years of age, Austin is joined by his talented sister Addie, age 15, on bass, and the incredible Logan Ellis Sheppard, age 22, on drums. 

Drawing inspiration from modern blues greats, like Gary Clark Jr., and Austin’s early Delta heroes, the trio’s high energy, hard-hitting set has been stunning crowds at home and on the road.
