Nick Thomas (The Spill Canvas) Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

Episode 228 - This episode was a long time in the making, almost lost forever, but believe me - it's worth the wait. Nick Thomas, the insanely talented frontman of The Spill Canvas joins the show! After signing to Warner Bros, and successful major label album under their belts, it was time for the follow up. Nick Thomas went through a lot of stress, co-writes he didn't want to do, and the result was a drug addiction which overtook the band, and eventually his whole life. Now, after confronting his demons and a stint in rehab, Nick and The Spill Canvas are back with a new single, a new podcast series, and also a new album (hopefully) coming this fall!
