Richard Paul Thomas – better known to his friends as RpT – has been making music since rock ‘n’ roll was young. And he’s still finding new sources of inspiration each time he picks up a guitar and sits down to write a song. Thomas prides himself on exploring a wide range of musical genres – from rock and R&B to jazz and soulful balladry – and emotions that travel from lighthearted and fun to serious and introspective. His thought-provoking examinations of life’s joys and challenges come from the heart and speak to the soul.
On his latest album,Wings Of My Heart, Thomas whittles his diverse array of influences and lifetime of experiences – including producing environmental festivals for Jacques Cousteau’s Cousteau Society – into a dozen self-penned tunes. Produced by Chris Gage and recorded at Austin’s Moonhouse Studio, it features musical contributions from Gage and his wife, Christine Albert, plus Kristin deWitt, Bruce Logan, Glenn Fukunaga and Steven Bernstein.
