Mickey Thomas made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit “Fooled Around And Fell In Love” with Elvin Bishop. In 1979, Mickey joined Jefferson Starship as lead vocalist. Backed by the power of Mickey’s vocals, Jefferson Starship immediately scored a #1 hit with “Jane” followed by a bevy of radio hits including “Find Your Way Back”, “Stranger”, “Winds of Change”, “Be My Lady”, “No Way Out” and “Layin’ It On the Line”. The group was renamed Starship in 1985 and continued to record an amazing string of hits including “We Built This City”, “Sara”, an Oscar Nomination for the #1 hit “Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now" from the movie Mannequin and “It’s Not Over Till It’s Over” which became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987. Moreover, every Starship album released since 1979 has gone Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum. Mickey’s charisma on Starship’s video classics like “We Built This City” and “Sara” made them staples on MTV and VH1.
Mickey Thomas has revamped the set list to include the multiplatinum hits of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Starship! This along with the addition of the powerful female vocalist, Stephanie Calvert; they now deliver a show that includes all the classic songs from each incarnation of the band!
