BJ Thomas Comes to Poway OnStage

BJ Thomas comes to Poway OnStage Saturday, September 30, 2017 at 8:00pm. He has had a half a century in music since his first gold selling hit on Scepter Records. The singer, a five-time GRAMMY® and two time Dove Award winner, has sold more than 70 million records and is ranked in Billboard's Top 50 most played artists of the past 50 years.

Known for hits "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," "Hooked on a Feeling" and "Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song," Thomas straddles lines between musical style while achieving success in multiple genres. Known initially for his pop and rock output, Thomas turned to country music in the '70s earning five GRAMMY® awards and 15 Top 40 hits. Four of the singer's GRAMMY® Awards were earned from his work in gospel music in the late '70s and '80s.

The emergence of the Oscar winning "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" in a key scene in "Spider-Man 2" in 2004 underscorEd Thomas' continued place as an identifiable cultural touchstone, and in recent years-as he continues to do 60-80 shows annually throughout the U.S. and tour internationally he has discovered through technology just how deep and loyal his fan's commitment runs. After an interview with an online DJ, the host put some music together for a one hour package that could be accessed online; Thomas had 3.5 million downloads in three days.
