Details:
Thomas Pace is set with "New American Way"

On his latest Cd, âNew American Wayâ Thomas Pace does exactly what you might expect of him. For the past five years, Pace has recorded and released a steady stream of remarkable records that few Chicago songwriters could claim to have paralleled.

In 2003 Paceâs solo debut âWalking Distanceâ met with wide acclaim from both fans and critics. Creating a solid foundation for future works âWalking Distanceâ remains a fan favorite.

In 2004, during the lead-up to the presidential election, Pace postponed working on his follow up album to write and record the politically charged, four-song EP âIf You Want to be Heard, Speak Up!â It is with the âSpeak Upâ Ep that Pace garnished his first attention at the national level.

In early 2006 Pace released the heart-breaking and haunting âElectrocaine.â With the help of performances from some of the best musicians in Chicago and around the country, âElectrocaineâ solidified his place among Chicagoâs premier songwriters.

Now, after hosting the Chicago House of Blues weekly Songwriter-in-the-Round show for nearly two years, Pace has returned to the studio and is preparing to release what can only be described as his culminating work.

On âNew American Way,â available September 1st, Pace continues with his habit of making extraordinary records. As on his prior records, Paceâs songs offer a unique honesty that often capture the truth at a basic level.

âI think of it as kind of an American self-portrait.â Says Pace looking as though heâs apologizing. âIf you look hard enough, you just might even be able to see yourself. I know I do.â
