Ticketed: Jon Hayes & Abbie Thomas

Fresh off her Hollywood Independent Music Award win for Folk Song of the Year, Abbie Thomas makes her debut at The Stray on her “Mid July in September” Midwest tour. She’ll be featuring music from her fan-funded album Not Gonna Lie — a record that has earned 20+ independent award nominations and over 250,000 streams without label backing, proving fans are taking notice. With a retro-soul vibe, hints of jazz, and a voice critics describe as “sitting somewhere between Diana Ross and Kacey Musgraves” (FATEA), Abbie delivers a fun and dynamic show with songs that are lyrically rich—tugging at heartstrings while carrying a thread of resilience and hope. For fans of Raye, Norah Jones, and Carole King, with support from Michigan songwriter Jon Hayes, whose music appeals to fans of John Mayer, NEEDTOBREATHE, and the soulful tones of Allen Stone.

The Stray is a music and arts cafe located in Grand Rapids, MI. In addition to our craft beer, coffee and wine selection, our kitchen will be open serving our full dinner menu until 9pm! Get here early to snag your favorite seat and grab a bite to eat before the show begins. Save money by getting discounted tickets online in advance.

The Stray is a listening room style venue and cafe, where performers are front and center, not background entertainment. We frequently ask attendees to silence their phones and keep conversations low out of respect to performers and other audience members.
