Biography
A true and international collaboration between Earl Thomas, Paddy Milner and the Big Sounds. From an initial meeting between Earl and Paddy on the 2007 Legendary Blues Cruise, to a separate meeting with regular Paddy Milner & The Big Sounds bassist Scott Wiber, the project was born.
After Earl needed a band to back him up on some UK dates and radio shows, it made sense that Paddy brought the whole band. It was such a vibe-filled experience for band and audiences alike that they decided to continue the collaboration by recording their first album in June 2008, for release in October 2008.
