The act of performing music is how he enters and relates to the world. And when you watch him live, it’s as if you’re witnessing a red giant of a star form before you, drawing in all of the stardust and matter of the immediate universe to power its very being…even if only for a fraction of time. Thurston stands out as one of those rare performers that has achieved the next-to impossible: The Quadfecta. He has perfected the multi-faceted roles of an entertainer, a vocalist, an instrumentalist, and a producer – an accomplishment unknown to most. And while he’s great at all four aspects at any given time, to see him achieve them all at once, live from the stage, is a truly monumental experience. It stands to reason that all music is good music as long as it finds its way to the one person who enjoys it. And in Thurston’s set, there is truly something for everyone. His performance satisfies even the most varied tastes, covering classic and story-based country, and his exceptional abilities on guitar takes audiences where they least expect to go – on a ride with AD/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Company, The Doors, Jerry Reed, and Deep Purple, to name a few. Thurston grew up with a milk bottle in one hand and a microphone in the other, “accompanying” his father’s band during rehearsals, and eventually at gigs. He made his first live performance at just three years old. His talent has taken him through the Nashville music industry and label machine at Warner Brothers, where he turned out singles for Montgomery Gentry, Rodney Atkins and Trace Adkins, including Rodney’s chart-topping fan favorite, “15 Minutes.” And he’s shared stages with country music’s biggest acts, such as the Waylon Jennings, Roger Miller, the Dixie Chicks, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Billy Currington and Charlie Daniels.
