The Dirty Thoughts tour was inspired by the song of the same name from T.'s newly released album 'Tenderness'. The spirit of the tour is one of embracing desire and self discovery as a queer trans person, and the sacredness of intimate connection. It is about replacing shame with wonder and joy, which T. believes is needed, regardless of what communities we call home!
Ramz of Amsterdam based Wild Weirdo Creations will present a condensed Impact Play 101 session as the opening act before T.'s set of acoustic original music.
Juno Books will be on-site with a pop up selection of their favourite slutty, smutty books!
ABOUT THE PERFORMERS:
T. Thomason (he/him) has captured audiences with high energy, emotional indie pop performances in Canada & beyond since his teenage years.A passionate advocate for queer/trans rights, T. aims to create life affirming, joyful experiences for his community (& everyone else) through music. He approaches songwriting as a commitment to “Say tough things tenderly,” a practice revealing an impressive depth of wisdom, clarity & courage in the young artist. Collaborating with Sarah McLachlan, opening for Carly Rae Jepsen, & touring with Collective Soul are only some highlights of T.’s exciting career to date. T.’s most recent album ‘Tenderness’, released by Six Shooter Records in 2024, is “filled up with odes to quiet, beautiful, and scary moments of intimacy” (Range Magazine), and “Contains multitudes. It starts off as shimmery, dreamy, and intimate and slowly builds into a pop-rock explosion of nostalgia and feelings: longing and gratitude, love and fear, determination and joy.” (CBC Music).
Ramz (they/them) is a queer, non-binary artist and non-sense enthusiast. They are the creator of Wild Weirdo Creations, a brand of impact toys and custom fetish wear proudly crafted from recycled and re-used materials.
Embracing sustainability and consciousness in kink, Wild Weirdo strives to make usable works of art to further the conversation of embodiment through kinky practices. These unique and specialized floggers aim to reflect the personalities and desires of the individuals who play with them.
