Thomas Wade is our Preferred Artist for Week of February 1st 2026. Whether singing in a Beach Boys tribute show, singing soulful country with his Country Blues Album, or writing and talking about the disease that almost took away that singing career you can bet that Thomas Wade is moving forward with his love of music.
Thomas grew up on stage playing with his family band at the age of four. He has always loved music.
In the late 80s he was going “Zero to Sixty? With his band Thomas Wade and Wayward that took them to the Juno award level and has written music for the likes of Celine Dion among others.
He’s battled back from an illness that doctors told him he would never sing again and taught himself techniques that brought his voice back to full strength.
GET THE BOOK!
His book, Singing In My Sleep, tells the full story of that journey, from the highs of performing to the struggle of silence, and the determination it took to come back stronger. It’s an inspiring read for music fans, creatives, and anyone who’s had to fight their way back to what they love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Once he overcame his illness he wrote a book called Singing In My Sleep which dealt with the disease and now often tours singing and talking about it in a unique show.
Lately Thomas has been back on tour with various bands playing everything from Beach Boys to Country. You can learn more about Thomas and his music at www.ThomasWade.com or watch him on stage on the Canadian music circuit.
