    Bos Bones
    Season 2
    Episode 6: Brian Thomas

    Season 2 Finale! After long last this season comes to a close with one of Boston's funkiest and most in demand commercial players. I remember the first time I heard him play with the A-Beez at Wally's I was blown away! He's a co-leader of the BT/ALC Big Band and leads his small group the BT Allstars.

    He's played with touring acts G Love, Lettuce, Soulive, John Brown's Body, The Elovaters, Maceo Parker, Kevin Kinsella, Ryan Montbleau and around Boston with King’s Highway, Dela & Steady Rock Easy, The A-Beez, B3 Kings, The Attractors, Jesse Dee, and Pressure Cooker.  

    Thanks for all of your support, I appreciate every listener! This project has been really rewarding but a lot of work. I have so many more trombonists I'd love to interview but I'm not ready to commit to a season 3 right now. If you appreciate the podcast, let me know and maybe I'll get around to season 3 one day!
