"A paragon of clarity, economy, and tastefulness, this is Earl Thomas'' best album to date, destined to be a modern soul-blues classic."
– Thomas J Cullen III, Living Blues Magazine
The story of Earl Thomas and The Blues Ambassadors begins at a historical crossroads where African rhythms merge with European folk music, where sorrow creates soul, rural meets urban, and the global becomes national.
Interpreting a uniquely American music, this San Francisco-based band achieves its distinctive sound from the international heritage of the blues, which is reflected in the multi-ethnic composition of the ensemble featuring musicians whose backgrounds embody both San Francisco’s cultural diversity and the stylistic roots of the blues. Accompanying frontman Earl Thomas, the band is comprised of musicians of African, Asian, East Indian, and European descent who collaborate in performances that fuse contemporary styles with rich vocals and compelling showmanship. They are keyboardist Takeshi Komori, with bass player Kedar Roy, drummer Paul Revelli, and guitarists Robert Sidwell and Bob Welsh.
Spectacle and rhythm merge on "Introducing the Blues Ambassadors" with the first release from the disc "Standing In The Rain" evoking social commentary through traditional blues structures and vibrant, contemporary sound.
In their music, the cadence of the Blue Ridge Mountains blends with San Francisco''s sharp city lights; and gospel, rock, and European art and history weave through an American national identity. Place—whether a country, a city, a front porch, a nightclub, a street corner, a juke joint—becomes the common ground for recalling and creating life experiences anew.
As the blues has evolved through the years, absorbing global musical styles, Earl Thomas and The Blues Ambassadors revitalize this tradition and its distinctively American origins. With their dynamic stage shows, soulful rhythms and elemental, unifying poetry, Earl Thomas and The Blues Ambassadors are indeed ambassadors of the universal spirit and multifaceted heritage of the blues.
