Ural Thomas & The Pain- Live at Tender Loving Empire

Ural Thomas & The Pain + Wayward Girls Soul Club + Coast Range Lights

TLE HQ- Warehouse on 3434 SE 21st Ave

It’s one thing to make a 60’s throwback record. It’s another thing to have been there in real-time singing backup alongside legends Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, and James Brown, to name a few. In the case of 78-year-old Ural Thomas, it’s never too late to find The Right Time.
Walking through the residential heart of Portland’s Mississippi district you’ll find a charming wooden house under the overcast Oregon sky. This local landmark is the home of soul legend Ural Thomas, built by hand with found materials decades ago. The basement is overflowing with musical equipment. When you walk down into the room you may see Portland’s Soul Brother Number One at the table chuckling, telling stories and jokes, and espousing his personal humanist philosophy obtained from 82 years of unfathomable experiences. He’s often joined by either his generations of biological posterity or the adopted family that is his band, The Pain. You may also find this infinitely magnetic personality ripping through a cover song at full volume or working out a new original with his loved ones.

:
