The Chris Thomas Project at The Waterfront

Originally from Chicago, Chris Thomas is a dynamic vocalist, entertainer, and frontman known for blending timeless showmanship with the soul, energy, and audience connection of modern live performance. While his performances today are heavily rooted in soul, Motown, R&B, and crossover classics, his natural connection to the timeless music of Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé, and the Great American Songbook continues to influence his style and stage presence.

Now based in Jacksonville, Florida, Chris spent years building one of the region’s most recognized live entertainment acts before stepping away to recover from vocal cord nodules. What could have ended a career instead became the beginning of a new chapter. Returning stronger than ever, he launched The Chris Thomas Project, a fresh evolution focused on high-level live entertainment and unforgettable audience experiences.

In addition to music, Chris was also a professional competitive ballroom and Latin dancer for more than 20 years, a background that still shapes his charisma, movement, and crowd interaction on stage today.

Chris’s stage presence and vocal versatility have earned him opportunities to perform for audiences across the country and abroad, including appearances at the Florida Theatre, FSCJ Artist Series, Jacksonville Jazz Festival, corporate galas, luxury weddings, TEDx events, Jacksonville Jaguars events, and as a featured guest entertainer with Virgin Voyages.

Backed by an exceptional team of musicians, Chris delivers performances ranging from intimate acoustic experiences to full-scale productions designed to fill dance floors and create lasting memories. Today, The Chris Thomas Project continues to perform throughout the Southeast and beyond, bringing timeless music, modern energy, and world-class entertainment to every stage.
