For the past nine years singer and songwriter, Nella Thomas, has been bringing the glamour and good cheer of the holiday season to the city of Des Moines with her 8-piece band made up of some of Iowa's finest musicians including Steven Rood, James Biehn, April Ziskovsky, William J Locker, Jon Locker, Diana Weishaar, and Nicholas Borror.

This show will have you feeling like you are on the set of Irving Berlin's classic "White Christmas," and will feature several local artists with special guest performances throughout the evening. When it's not Christmas, the 5-piece Nella Thomas Band embraces the familiar sounds of Midwestern living in their own unique blend of alternative folk music. Nella is an Iowa Native who debuted in 2015 with her album, “Yonder Woods,” and has since released singles on her own and in collaboration with her husband and fellow artist, William J Locker.

Their music video for “1871” was featured in Iowa Public Television’s Film Lounge Series in 2018. Nella has performed on the Main Stage for the Des Moines Arts Festival, for local fundraisers, and the live music venues in Des Moines and surrounding communities. Others may recognize Nella as the lead singer and guitarist for the all-female cover band, "June Bugs DSM."
