Benjamin Jay Thomas is a singer-songwriter and producer based in Leavenworth, WA, with 25 years of recordings and eight full-length albums rooted in indie folk. His newest record, Behind Your Eyes, The Stars Are Born (June 2026), is his most sonically adventurous - blending the intimacy of Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver with the warmth and lift of indie pop. Think: emotionally literate songwriting that actually wants to move your body.

His music lives at the intersection of the personal and the universal… songs about recovering imagination, the original goodness of people, and what it feels like to finally stop fighting yourself. He performs Guided Concerts weaving music, poetry, silence, and communal singing, and has performed at Imagine Festival, Conscious Growth Convergence, and Harvard Divinity School’s Conference for Arts and Spirituality.

First single “A World of Our Own” is a playful, clear-eyed pop song about recovering the imagination we traded in for grades and paychecks. Second single “Is There a Life?” is a windows-down anthem for the existential frustration of trying to build a life aligned with what you love… fierce, urgent, and ultimately protective of the dreamer in all of us, featuring a wry indie-folk vocal performance from LA-based collaborator Ms Bright Sea.
