GO TO YOUTUBE and search for Champagne with Friends. Thomas Champagne is a Beaumont, Tx. native now residing in Austin, TX.. He cut his musical teeth touring with such bands as the funk/rock group 4D2 and Folsom Creek a rock/bluegrass mix. He then formed his own band, Solo Project, an acoustic jazz/funk/pop entity that later evolved into the electric entity that he now fronts known as Audioflava. In exploring his musical boundries he also plays solo acoustic shows and has also formed a seperate but equally powerful acoustic entity known as Champagne With Friends. With both acts he and his players have a strong base trio that can be built upon depending on the show/venue needs with seven plus musicians adding layer upon layer of grooviness in either acoustic or electric formats.
