Les Thomas is a Melbourne-based singer-songwriter whose work sits at the crossroads of history, place and moral witness. A narrative poet in the folk tradition, his songs carry the weight of memory, resistance, working life and intimate human connection, delivered with warmth, restraint and emotional clarity.
His writing moves between Australian and global history, political struggle and deeply personal moments, often within the same song. Landmark works such as I Remember Everything, The Last of the Old Holdens, Never Be Silenced and The Firing Line have established him as a songwriter of conscience rather than slogan — one of Australia’s most distinctive contemporary folk voices.
Winner of the Troubadour Foundation’s Keeping the Flame Alive Award, Thomas stands in the lineage of artists who use song as a form of witness. His writing honours First Nations leaders, working-class families, survivors and truth-tellers, carrying the weight of history while speaking clearly to the present.
Primarily a solo performer on acoustic guitar, his live shows are intimate, literate and deeply engaging. His third album, I Remember Everything, is his most ambitious work to date — a sweeping meditation on memory, history, climate, resistance and parenthood. Its first single, The Firing Line, is already resonating as a song of courage and conviction.
