Thomas Allain is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Gainesville, Florida, making what he calls "sentimental indie folk rock." His music channels the angst and longing of the current moment through a sound that is equal parts intimate and rockin’.
His debut album, Words I’ve Learned to Say, was produced by Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra, Julien baker, Paris Jackson) and recorded at Ivy Manor Studios in Muscle Shoals, The first single, "Footprints in the Stone", co-written with Gainesville’s Jordan Burchel, is a pop soul anthem that gives voice to the quiet desperation of existing in a world that’s all attention-first. With a sound crafted out of a love of classic soul and rock and an admiration for modern songsmiths like Ben Gibbard, Lizzie McAlpine, and Theo Katzman, Thomas's music bridges the gap between old-school confessional rock and roll and modern heart-on-your-sleeve folk pop.
Before recording under his own name, Thomas fronted The Late Night Losers and toured as a member of Cat Ridgeway & The Tourists. He has appeared at the 30A Songwriters Festival in both 2024 and 2026, Tom Petty Weekend 2024, and performs keyboards with Gainesville/NYC indie soul band PRIZILLA, making him a live presence equally at home in an intimate listening room or on a festival stage.
