On his debut solo album, Thief on the Left, John Gossart delivers a haunting journey through the raw corners of the human condition. With stark, confessional lyrics set against intricate acoustic guitar lines and shadowy instrumentation, these 11 songs navigate roads scarred by anger, addiction, regret, and hopelessness.  Intimate guitars and lived-in vocals frame confessions that aim for honesty over resolution—redemption is a question, not an answer.  With each track, the listener is drawn deeper into stories that feel overheard, not performed.  It’s a record that lingers long after the last note — powerful, haunting, and unflinchingly honest.

Thief on the Left is John Gossart's 3rd studio album, but TOTL marks his debut full length solo album.  John's Indie rock sound crosses from Americana to Rock to Folk and back again. But what is perhaps most compelling are lyrics that draw you in, grip you from the first track, and don't let go.  Thief on the Left is a story of loss, addiction, depression, sin, and redemption.
