On the title track to his new album, Tenderness, T. Thomason centres the emotions that shape this collection as a whole: fear, courage and resolve. Amid change, about which T. writes in exquisite and intimate detail, what remains the same is that love and trust must light the way. A song that first name checks, and then features, indie rockers Stars, “Tenderness” is the culmination of the album’s major revelations and sonic tendrils in soaring chamber pop form.

Thomason continues to preview forthcoming album, Tenderness, with “Boyfriend,” a new song out today. In this gender bent pop rock banger, T. Thomason adds his own undeniable strut to the denim and leather swagger. With its classic rock rolodex and sonic callback, “Boyfriend” is a playful yet purposeful flipping of gender scripts.

“Fantasy,” T. Thomason’s new single, is an indie pop bop that flips the script on the power dynamics of desire. With its bubblegum arcade bleeps and cheer squad chorus, “Fantasy” champions physical connection and self-owned sexuality, giving a wink at kink to make a point about the complexities of attraction.

From Halifax to Hugh’s Room, T. Thomason returns to Toronto for a month-long residency that celebrates queer and trans joy and the power of artistic expression. As both curator and performer, T. Thomason announces four unique shows for each Tuesday in November, collectively titled ““C U Next Tuesday” – A Month of Queer & Trans Joy and Excellence. 

Many artists have taken their turn with this song since its debut in 1984: it may have launched the career of the Barenaked Ladies; U2 may have referenced one of its lyrics in a pop chart topper, but hearing T. Thomason cover Bruce Cockburn’s “Lovers In a Dangerous Time” feels like the final kick.

Six Shooter is delighted to welcome T. Thomason to the label roster with new music planned for 2023. A singularly talented, multi-hyphenated performer on stage and screen, Halifax-based T. Thomason is rightly on the radar as an important artist to be heard, for his songs and his perspective. Honest, vulnerable yet firmly standing his ground, T. Thomason is ready to meet what’s ahead with uncommon composure and creative energy.
