Demons

"The Wings Outside" is the debut LP from Joshua Thomas.

Produced by Karin Bergquist & Linford Detweiler of the celebrated
Americana duo Over the Rhine, "The Wings Outside" is a song cycle of escape. Anchored by Thomas’ commanding vocals and vivid, evocative storytelling, this impressive debut charts a musical journey through the lives of a set of characters on the run. Between the lived experience of its songwriter, the caliber of the players, and the diversity of the compositions, "The Wings Outside" is a remarkable (and long overdue) LP by this seasoned musician.
