Around the same time, he performed as the opening act for artists like ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blake Shelton, Pat Green, David Nail, and The Dirt Drifters.

Thomas’ debut singles “Something to Do with My Hands” and “Beer with Jesus” were released in 2012 and both made it to the top 30 on the Hot Country Songs charts.

He was always there for advice, but he was like, 'Hey, it's time for you to go figure out who you want to go be.' He was like, 'Go find a bunch of other writers that have nothing going on. Go make friends with a bunch of artists that just sign record deals that don't have any success, and you all go learn from each other. You all go fail with each other. You all go succeed with each other.’”
