About
Whether you are a boat lost at sea or a soul in need of warmth, River Mann is here to ferry you across the waters. Led by singer-songwriter William Thomas, this exciting new project out of Colorado’s vibrant music scene will move you through sound, story, and the subconscious.
Taking inspiration from American roots music, contemporary folk, progressive rock, and classical music, River Mann’s transcendent and energetic live performances promise a journey of dancing, swooning, smiling, and moments of introspection. Full of heart and spirit, this music delves into the human condition with sincerity and compassion.
River Mann’s sound is defined not only by Will’s songwriting prowess but also by exceptional musicianship and genuine camaraderie, with the soulful playing Madalyn McCoy’s violin and Gabriel Anthony’s slide guitar. James Davis brings the thunder and the groove on bass, while on the kit—sporting one of the finest mustaches west of the Mississippi—is one of Colorado’s most explosive young drummers, Mr. Benjamin Waterson. The members of River Mann beckon you to the unknown—the beautiful and the dark—with revelry and happenstance, to a distant land of your own exploration and love.
