"J.Thomas has been a true inspiration to me when it comes to songwriting and composition. During our many sessions he taught me the importance of connecting with my audience and that writing songs is basically telling a story, but the song's 'Hook' should be like 'Ear Candy' that's catchy and draws your audience's attention to focus on the lyrics/story. Joseph is an amazing musician himself and a dear friend. I cherish the moments we shared collaborating and performing together." - Gashia, Songtress/Songwriter

"Joe Thomas worked with me for 10 years in my Blues & Soul Group "Big Daddy" Stallings & The Bluez Evolution Band. We Recorded Four Successful Independently Released CD's together that Received Global and Domestic Radio Airplay and Reviews in Blues Publications because of his Publicity and Branding Efforts. Joe can do Radio Promotion, Press and Horn Arrangements. He was also my Saxman/Bandleader; a Versatile and Visionary Guy !!" - Charles "Big Daddy" Stallings, Soul/Bluesman

" Having known Mr. Joe Thomas for the past 40+ years, I find him extremely capable, reliable, conscientious, and dedicated in all of his responsibilities. He was the sound technician for Baltimore's Big Band led by Gene Walker and continued in that position upon the leader's retirement and my assuming the role of band leader. He also became sound technician for the band I led for the city's concerts after the demise of Baltimore's Big Band. In all the years of his association with me, Mr. Thomas has never been late, has always had capable professional people working with him, provided the best sound for the ensembles and would advise me of any and all pertinent situations concerning the sound, booking, promotion and running of the bands. Having him assist you in any musical situation would definitely be an asset."
