Biography
Thea The Band is a diamond in the rough singer/songwriter with a sound that is indeed ‘Cosmic American.’ A blend of country/folk honest lyrics, emotive shades of soul/blues, and textures of indie rock. With a peppered history in relation to her strict Catholic upbringing, the theme of God, the devil, and the many vices that struggle can lead to often find their way into her songwriting. Otherwise, love, heartbreak, and the magic of both are lifeblood. Revealing that inside the beauty of our differences is also where we find our commonalities is the gift the listener receives from a Thea The Band live performance. A Denver, Colorado native who found her songwriting voice later in life, and about 1,000 miles west in San Diego, these songs have the magic that comes from having lived them. Love, hope, and honesty are timeless, palpable, and palatable with Thea The Band. There is always a silver lining.
Whether playing a solo intimate setting sharing more personal stories about where the songs came from and what inspired them, or riding the musical waves when playing full band, the unadulterated desire to connect in a most intimate way is a constant. The belief that we want to be loved means we must also allow people to see who we truly are. After all, isn’t that what we’re here for?
Shortly after moving to Ramona in 2020, the first title track off her 2022 album ‘American Honey,’ was written with Ramona and the people who make this town what it is as the inspiration. The album was later nominated for ‘Best Country/ Americana Album’ at the 2022 San Diego Music Awards.
