This video is from 2008 but there are so many great videos of Irwin Thomas it's hard to choose. He originally called himself Jack Jones and was the front man for a super successful Australian band called the Southern Sons in the 80's and 90's. Before that he was a kid in a Van Halen tribute band and could play EVH even better then EVH could. Virgil Donati, the incredible drummer, was in Southern Sons as well. Irwin's vocal range is amazing - he can sing anything, from Led Zeppelin to Jeff Buckley to Bob Dylan to the Beatles and anything you can name. He can hit any note. And on top of that he is a super guitarist. In fact, tonight he is performing at the Sydney Opera House with a Beatles tribute show. He was also in a band called Electric Mary for about 10 years. Defo worth checking him out.
And this epic 10 minute guitar instrumental of a Michael Landau song was from 2007 at a clinic in a suburb of Melbourne.
And this is from the Southern Sons days....

Get your ears around this version on soundcloud: Irwin Thomas - I Can't Wait To Come DownI am seeing him perform this Friday night with his old band, Electric Mary. Also planning on seeing him at the end of March when he performs as part of a Led Zeppelin show.
