Leaving Thomas @ The Drake Underground

Thursday nights are usually spent at pottery class with my daughter however this week was a little different. MDM Recordings was hosting a little party to showcase the team’s latests artists Leaving Thomas made up of Annika Odegard and Bryton Udy. And lets just say the duo from the Calgary did not disappoint.

The venue was Drake Underground a great little room in the basement of the Drake Hotel in downtown Toronto. Now for those of you that haven’t been lucky enough to attend an industry showcase it is when record labels invite media to check out new artists. The artists usually don’t play a full 60 min set but you do get a taste of what the band has to offer. On this night MDM was showcasing their latests signing Leaving Thomas. An incredible duo out of Alberta that has been working the west coast scene for the last three years and are now making waves at radio with their current single Waiting Kind Of Girl.

This was my first time seeing them live and WOW. The onstage chemistry for a newish band was so good and the vocals. Not even sure I can describe how good Anika hits those notes. Strong voices and a great line up of songs made for a great night of music. We hope to see Leaving Thomas Back in Toronto before the end of the summer. And don’t forget to request Waiting Kind of Girl now at Country Radio.
