    2016 was an incredible year for Ward Thomas! Here we recap just a few of their best moments.

    Sign to Sony Music.

    Early this year Ward Thomas signed their first major recording contract with the record label Sony Music. The offer of a contract came after their 2014 independently released album ‘From Where We Stand‘ sold over 25,000 copies in the UK alone and was named UK Album of The Year at the British Country Music Awards.
