Thomas Allain is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Gainesville, Florida, making what he calls "sentimental indie folk rock." His music captures the angst and longing of the current moment while constructing a sound that's both intimate and driving.
In January 2025, Thomas began recording his debut solo album at Ivy Manor Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, with producer Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra, Julien Baker, Paris Jackson). The sessions focused on capturing live "band in a room" performances. The first single, "Footprints in the Stone," co-written with Jordan Burchel and released in June 2025, sets the tone for a record that's reflective and deeply human.
Before working under his own name, Thomas fronted The Late Night Losers, performing across the Southeast, and toured as a member of Cat Ridgeway & The Tourists. He's appeared at the 30A Songwriters Festival in both 2024 and 2026, Tom Petty Weekend 2024, and occasionally performs keyboards with the Gainesville/NYC indie soul band PRIZILLA.
Thomas's music draws from influences like Stevie Wonder, Benjamin Gibbard, and Theo Katzman, combining intricate melodies with heartfelt storytelling. Every song is part of a longer conversation about where we come from and how we move forward.
