Ant Thomaz returns with his new single “Good Times Roll,” a rhythm-driven track shaped by a life lived between cultures. With family roots in southern Louisiana and a creative base in Scotland, Thomaz blends folk, soul, pop, zydeco, and rock into a sound built on warmth, melody, and feel. Written and recorded with the idea of a “Scottish Mardi Gras,” the song brings together musicians from different musical backgrounds, allowing each voice and rhythm to live fully inside the groove. The result feels communal, open, and grounded in shared movement.
Co-produced with longtime collaborator Chris Gordon, “Good Times Roll” took nearly a year to complete, passing through more than 60 mixes before reaching its final form. The track draws from Louisiana Mardi Gras traditions, Bollywood influences, South African rhythms, and Celtic music, shaping a unified celebration that moves easily between styles. Lyrically, the song reflects on finding balance within chaos and carrying joy through change, themes that align with Thomaz’s long-standing focus on optimism, self-awareness, and connection. Following years of busking, festival stages, BBC airplay, and supporting artists including Happy Mondays and Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the new single signals a fresh chapter as Thomaz continues toward his debut solo album.
