A Salado resident, singer, songwriter and guitarist, RpT has been performing for over 40 years. In addition to his original material, RpT plays a variety of familiar and unique songs to entertain his audiences. He encourages everyone to join in and get involved. In years past, Thomas has performed throughout the United States in concert with artists such as Anne Murray, Loggins & Messina, Helen Ready, James Lee Stanley, Odetta, Michael Martin Murphey and many others. He worked for two years with Jacques Cousteau's Involvement Day, an environmental celebration of the planet Earth.

Recently, Salado Mayor Rick Ashe, presented a proclamation stating that SALADO, one of RpT's songs from the play Captured Rainbow, has been adopted by the Village of Salado as its own recognizing the contribution that singer, songwriter and dreamer, Richard Paul Thomas, has embodied in this melody representing our spirit, character and history.
