Who is "the invisible man of rock 'n' roll"?

Mickey Thomas - that's who! Many music aficionados probably aren't aware that we probably aren't aware that he sang the lead vocals for Elvin Bishop Band's 1976 hit "Fooled Around And Fell In Love."

Mickey Thomas is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled Starship through the decades of the 80’s and 90’s. With his soulful and compelling vocals, Mickey has established himself as one of Rock Music’s most recognizable stars.

Mickey made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit “Fooled Around And Fell In Love” with The Elvin Bishop Band. In 1979, Mickey’s joined the Jefferson Starship as lead vocalist, after the departure of Grace Slick and Marty Balin.

Moreover, every Starship album released since 1979 has gone Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum. Mickey's stellar voice and video charisma on Starship's video classics such as “We Built This City” and “Sara” have become staples on MTV and VH1. Material covered in Starship's live performance ranges from Mickey's tenure with The Elvin Bishop Band and Starship, as well as songs from his two solo albums.

Mickey Thomas has revamped his band and show and is backed by the band Starship featuring:

• Stephanie Calvert - Vocals
• Mark Abrahamian - Lead Guitar, Vocals
• Jeff Adams - Bass, Vocals
• Phil Bennett - Keyboards, Vocals
• Darrell “Pelican” Verdusco - Drums, Vocals

"I was going lead vocals for Elvin Bishop, and it said Elvin Bishop Band on the record label, so people naturally assume if they didn't know better that Elvin Bishop was the vocalist," Thomas explains. "So I've been trying to educate people in that regard for many years. And then in spite of the many hits I had with Starship, because a lot of the times I was in the band at the same time as Grace Slick or I was following in the footsteps of Marty Balin, quite often people didn't put my name together with the songs. So I am still trying to overcome that.".

Thomas was in the Elvin Bishop Band 1976-1979, then left to climb aboard the Starship in April 1979, replacing Marty Balin as lead singer.

"My 12 years with Starship was much like a history of the band" he says. "It was complex, convoluted, with peaks and valleys, changes in personnel and in musical direction. But for the most part it was fun, and I have fond memories of it all, because the things that last are the really good moments anyway."

All the good moments and his stunning voice can be experienced in a high energy 75 minute show packed with the Starship hits!
