MICKEY THOMAS is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled
STARSHIP through the ’80’s and ‘90’s. With his soulful and compelling
vocals, MICKEY has established himself as one of Rock Music’s most
recognizable stars.
Mickey is currently celebrating his 30th anniversary with STARSHIP
since he joined JEFFERSON STARSHIP as lead vocalist after the
departure of Grace Slick and Marty Balin. Every Starship album released
has gone Gold, Platinum or Multi-Platinum. STARSHIP’s newest single,
“GET OUT AGAIN” is climbing the charts.
Mickey made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit “FOOLED
AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE” with The ELVIN BISHOP Band. Mickey
joined JEFFERSON STARSHIP in the late ‘70’s.
Backed by the power of MICKEY’S vocals, JEFFERSON STARSHIP
immediately scored a #1 hit with “JANE”. With this new sound and
powerful new vocals, the group was renamed STARSHIP and continued to
record an amazing string of hits including “NO WAY OUT”, “WE BUILT
THIS CITY”, “SARA”, and received an Oscar Nomination for the #1 hit
“NOTHING GONNA STOP US NOW" from the movie “MANNEQUIN.”
Other top hits include: “FIND YOUR WAY BACK,” “STRANGER,”
“LAYING IT ON THE LINE” and “IT’S NOT OVER TILL IT’S OVER,”
which became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987.
MICKEY’S stellar voice and video charisma on STARSHIP’s video
classics such as “WE BUILT THIS CITY” and “SARA” have become
staples on MTV and VH1. Material covered in STARSHIP’s “live”
concerts range from Mickey’s career with THE ELVIN BISHOP Band and
STARSHIP, as well as songs from his two solo albums. Mickey’s band
mates in Starship include:

STEPHANIE CALVERT – VOCALS
