After completing the first few songs, it was decided that live instruments would be the addition needed to take their music to the next level. The duo co-writes all their material and mastering their craft is their priority.īirmingham Entertainment label head, Ron Pole, picked up Austin and Chad quickly. Austin’s energy shines with his country rap keeping the audience engaged. Chad is the quietly intense singer/songwriter accompanied by his guitar skills. While the strength of the duo is the unit, there’s a lot to enjoy individually. Hailing proudly from Birmingham Alabama, brothers Austin and Chad Thomas form the genre-bending duo, AC Thomas.
