The night after his eighth album releases to the world, Benjamin Jay Thomas comes home to celebrate it. Behind Your Eyes, The Stars Are Born is a record five years in the making — a joyful, searching, ultimately hopeful celebration of the divine creativity alive in every human being. The release show at Snowy Owl Theater is the first full live performance of this music: an evening shaped as a Guided Concert, moving through song, poetry, moments of silence, and communal singing, supported by a handful of other voices from the Bring Forth community.

The set will be a carefully crafted arc... an experience designed to let the music land the way it was written to land: in a room full of people, together.

 

Behind Your Eyes, The Stars Are Born is Benjamin Jay Thomas's eighth full length album, five years in the making. It is his most sonically adventurous record yet - blending indie folk roots with the warmth and lift of indie pop - and his most personal: a full-throated celebration of the seed of divine creativity at the center of every human being.

The album moves through longing and reconnection, through the rebel cry of imagination refusing to be shrunk, through the medicine of faithful witness and presence. It ends where it begins: in the heart, in the body, in the deep knowing that the Wisdom is you.
