Simply put, Thomas Fountain is a rising star in a state known for producing huge country artists. Born and raised in the mountains of North Georgia, this Ball Ground native has seen his career take off in 2014. Thomas has been entertaining audiences for several years but decided in 2013 to take a different direction with his music. He wanted to write, record, and perform his own material. The response to that life altering decision was astounding. In just his first year as a solo artist, Thomas was a Finalist for Georgia Country Artist of the year (1 of 6), toured 6 states, recorded his first EP, performed live on T.V., and his songs hit large market radio, among many other accomplishments.
Thomas Also was named 2015 JEZEBEL MAGAZINE MOST ELIGIBLE, 2014 OVERALL ARTIST OF THE YEAR and 2014 GEORGIA COUNTRY MALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR.
