A Soul Nourishing Experience
Thomas Lorenzo is a celebrated Flamenco, Jazz Guitarist and Composer. Born in Dharawal country and son of Spanish immigrants that fled fascism. When democracy was reinstalled, Thomas returned to Barcelona.
He spent 36 years devouring Mediterranean culture and gradually became a world class contemporary composer and guitarist.
Thomas says. “I heard music for the first time on the slopes of Mt Keira where I grew up as a child. Since then whenever I walk through the bush and nature I hear music. My compositions are a reflection of mother nature.
In 2022 I returned to my birth place and asked the Aboriginal Elders for guidance and since then my music is more connected to who we all are.
Come and enjoy music that has always been a reflection of country from a Spanish Immigrant´s eyes and heart.”

Reviews
Play Boy Magazine:
Guitars, live acoustic music, in pure state. Influences go from Paco de Lucia, Stevie Vay Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix.
Jazz Chicago
Refined melodic sense, but don´t expect light hearted guitar melodies.
