Reid Albert Thomas is one of the last true blues troubadours, a true couch-surfing maestro. His music is heavily influenced by his love of blues and country music but also by his passion for poetry and storytelling. He has been writing since childhood and was named Poet Laureate of John Abbott College before earning a bachelor's in creative writing at Concordia, it is said that he minored in Gaelic to pick up girls. 

Reid has been playing music longer than anyone can remember—his parents say that when he was a baby, they'd put him in front of the TV with a toy guitar or violin, and before long, he was making up songs about what was happening in cartoons.  It wasn't until his teenage years that Reid started to take his songwriting more seriously, since then he has wandered around the world doing odd jobs, meeting odd people and collecting odd stories. After a successful European tour in 2019, Reid shifted his professional focus back to music and has not looked back since. 

He has been lucky enough to have played shows all over Canada, the United States, Belgium, Germany, Austria, France, and the Czech Republic.
Right now, though? His focus is on creating beautiful guitars that are made with love by hand here in Montreal—and on writing/performing new music as much as possible.
