Richard Paul Thomas (his friends call him RpT) is a free-thinking dreamer and Texas based Songwriter with decades of love, life and laughter to share. His songwriting spans a wide range of musical genres and emotional experiences ranging from light hearted fun to challenging one’s convictions about life and our place in the world. RpT’s soulful voice ranges from thermal to edgy reflecting the musical influences of a lifetime.
