Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Andy Thomas has worked his way up the ranks as an electrifying guitarist up and down the East Coast, whether it’s fronting his own wild-n-out project The Trongone Band or being the six-string rocket fuel for the melodic muscle car that is acclaimed Americana act Yarn. Andy’s new album Highway Junkie connects the dots of Thomas’ troubled past and hard-fought strength of self in the present. He’s embarking on a full-time solo run and plays the Grey Eagle in Asheville on Friday (5:30 pm), and also Fall For Greenville on October 10th.
