About Butch

Conrad “Butch” Thomas, is no neophyte to the global music industry. His career spans 30 years of featured performance and recordings by the likes of Jaco Pastorius, Lenny Kravitz, Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin and Sting. Born in St Louis, Missouri, he received his Bachelor of Music degree in Music from Webster University, along with a Masters in Music education degree from USF. Very soon after graduating, he relocated to New York City, where he established a relationship with the great instrumentalists and composer Jaco Pastorius featured on four Pastorius’ recordings “Punk Jazz”,"Promised land",Punk Jazz Vol. 6 and “NYC Jam” and featured live from 1983-1986.Then (as they say), the rest is history.
He continued on to perform with a “Who’s Who” in music entertainment including The Temptations (1986), Thomas Dolby (1988), Dave Valentin (1988) and Lenny Kravitz (1989-1992).His ambidextrous florid jazz style placed him comfortably in the company of an eclectic roster including “The College Boyz”, “The Cult”, Tyrone Davis (1990) and the rock group “Living Colour” (1991).He’s received a number of video credits including Lenny Kravitz’ hit “It Aint Over ‘Til It’s Over”, Queen Latifah’s “How Do I Love Thee” and Sting’s “You Still Touch Me”.
It was during this time that the directors of the hit FOX Network detective series “New York Undercover” called him to appear with a number of featured guests including Al Jarreau, Al Green, Mavis Stables, Mary J. Blige, and many others.Through a referral, the call came from superstar singer/guitarist Sting, where he toured extensively in 1996-97. It was through his appearances with Sting that he was placed in demand by yet another hierarchy of stars e.g. James Taylor, Elton John, Diana Ross and a feature spot on Aretha Franklin’s 1998 hit song (UK version)
“A Rose Is Still A Rose” written and produced by singer/songwriter Lauren Hill.Butch continues to record and perform throughout the globe.His latest release, “Autumn Rain will be out in summer 2023.
