Music saved me.
Lynn Hoffman· Host0:01
I'm Lynn Hoffman. Welcome to the Music Saved Me podcast. I have a question. What if the thing that almost broke you became the thing that defined you? Well, today's guest spent nearly two decades rebuilding his life, one road mile at a time. And now, under a new name and with a new sound, he's sharing the most honest music of his entire career. There are artists who make music, and then there are artists whose music makes meaning out of the wreckage, and today's guest is the second kind. You may know him as Trey Lewis, but on this episode of Music Saved Me, we're welcoming him as Thomason, the name on his birth certificate, the name on his new White Van EP, and the name he says represents the most soul-baring work of his life. Nearly 20 years sober, hundreds of small rooms with empty tip jars, a journey shaped by redemption, roots, and the kind of hard-earned clarity that only comes with time. The White Van EP is four songs, but it carries a lifetime with it. I'm gonna quote him, "I'm the last of my bloodline, and it's important to me that I share my story." I'm so excited Trey Lewis, Thomason, will share that story starting next on Music Saved Me. Don't go anywhere.
