Ian Thomas, Singer/Songwriter

Singer/Songwriter Ian Thomas talks about his biggest hit Painted Ladies (and why he no longer possesses his 1974 Juno as Most Promising Male Vocalist), his continued close ties to both his big brother Dave and his wider SCTV/Second City family, his cameo on Bob & Doug McKenzie’s Great White North, touring with April Wine/Rush/Valdy/Beach Boys/Billy Joel, why everyone was told to ‘check their egos at the door’ while recording 1985’s Tears Are Not Enough, his interactions with Martin Short/John Candy/Rick Moranis/Eugene Levy/Paul Shaffer/Geddy Lee/Rik Emmett/Tony Bennett/Brian Wilson, having his songs covered by Santana/Manfred Mann/Anne Murray, and why that strange animal Gowan now owns some of his recording gear! Ian Thomas will be LIVE on Wed April 9th at The Rose Studio inside The Rose Brampton as part of their Stagedoor Stories series...full info at https://tickets.brampton.ca/ For everything Ian Thomas, please visit https://ianthomas.ca/ TORONTO LEGENDS is hosted by Andrew Applebaum at [email protected] All episodes available at https://www.torontolegends.ca/episodes/ Learn more about your ad choices.
