Thomm has done a great deal since moving to Nashville almost twenty years ago. He has songwriting credits on four number one bluegrass hits since 2016 and on nine other top-20 bluegrass songs over the same period. He has produced over 20 albums over the same period.
In many ways, Thomm lives in two worlds. He was reared on traditional European music but was drawn to American country and bluegrass music. His lifelong interest in the American Civil War had him writing songs about the conflict that resulted in three volumes of music titled The 1861 Project, featuring a who’s who of artists, including John Anderson, Marty Stuart, Jerry Douglas, and Bobby Bare.
Thomm’s latest project is called To Live in Two Worlds, which perfectly describes his life, with one foot in a different world, and one here today. Volume I was released in March, and Volume II was just released on September 25.
