Anders Thomsen has deep roots. This midwestern boy grew up on the music that makes America. The Twang of the Opry on a Saturday night, the Rock n Roll on the stereos in the Chevys and the Fords and the Blues and Soul spilling out of the nightclubs he snuck into. He heard all that and made it his own.

He picked up the heartbreak and the joy of the blues, and matched it with the lonesome, lovelorn hillbilly waltz and powered it all with those rock and roll V-8s.

He got an early start, playing in bars and nightclubs before he was old enough to drive, sometimes even with a note from his mother.  He sang, played guitar, played bass and even played the washtub. Anything to get him on stage to learn the craft.
