REDEMPTION is Thomas Graf’s fifth studio album and his most exciting work to date. As with his previous album, BRAVE, the singer-songwriter blends a variety of musical styles—from folk, jazz, and blues rock to country and pop—into a vibrant Americana mix.

Lyrically, the album tells of two people’s fascination with one another, of being in love, of doubts and the breakdown of a relationship, of feelings of guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation. REDEMPTION is Thomas Graf’s first concept album and the magnum opus of a mature artist.

Release date: Nov 14, 2025

Dylan, Springsteen, Cash and Cohen - anyone who loves these storytellers will also be moved and inspired by Thomas Graf's folk-rock storytelling.

For more than 30 years, the singer-songwriter has been telling stories of life's breaks, hope, friendship, love, defeat and recovery. Thomas Graf profoundly processes his own experiences and topics that accompany him privately and as a psychologist.

His mission: “I want to take people on a journey where they meet themselves and find a bit of liberation through my music”.

Thomas Graf inspires audiences live in the Munich area, for example at the popular Munich Tollwood Festival, and increasingly beyond: in his old home on Lake Constance, at Theater la Lune in Stuttgart or at Café7Stern in Vienna. 

BRAVE, Thomas Graf's fourth album, was released in 2024 and made it straight to SR2 Kulturradio's album of the week. In it: hot topics about overcoming fears, ideological seduction, courage to face life and friendship. Psychological backgrounds, packed into inspiring lyrics, together with the sounds of folk, rock, blues and even a little gospel. His latest album REDEMPTION has been published on Nov 14, 2025.
