“I wrote this song about the idea that we all have something we grab on to as a way of coping with the world around us,” says Thomas. “In the song, I take this idea and place it in a few different scenarios to give it life. While it may not be a personal story about myself, there are certainly things we all hold on to that help us keep moving – for better or worse.”
Thomas’s music has been praised by many including Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, The Boot, Bluegrass Situation, and more. Americana Highways calls Thomas Csorba “a near perfect modern Americana album” and Houston Chronicle asks “Is Houston native Thomas Csorba the next great Texas songwriter?” Ones to Watch writes, “it is immediately evident that Thomas is a songwriter comfortable in a lineage that celebrates the American experience, or maybe even one who revels in a nostalgia for the everyday that singing poets such as Robert Johnson, Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash embodied.”

Thomas has been writing and performing since his early teens, playing shows at historic Texas venues like the Cactus Cafe in Austin and the Mucky Duck in Houston. He put out his first independent EP while still attending Houston’s Memorial High School. By the time he departed for college, he was already working on the collection of tunes that would make up his full-length debut, 2017’s From the Foxhole. For 2020’s Thomas Csorba he collaborated with producer Beau Bedford (Texas Gentlemen, Paul Cauthen), who Thomas met while playing Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion during SXSW. A collection of westerns with a touch of the dust bowl blues, the album moves effortlessly between big country Texas tales and tender bedroom intimacy.
