Biography

Tabitha’s Secret was a band formed in March of 1993 in Orlando, Florida. It was originally comprised of lead singer Rob Thomas, John Goff and Jay Stanley on guitar, Brian Yale on bass, and Chris Smith playing drums. In September of 1993, Paul Doucette joined the band as a second percussionist, only to replace Chris Smith entirely a year later. Some of the band’s most popular songs were “And Around,” “Dear Joan,” “Unkind,” and “3 am”.

In 1995, songwriter/producer and representative for Atlantic Records Matt Serletic approached the members of Tabitha’s Secret concerning a long-term record deal. However, Serletic was more interested in helping Thomas find his voice than he was in the band Tabitha’s Secret. Jay Stanley and John Goff were uninterested in a long-term record deal, believing it was better to sign for a one-record deal and evaluate the situation following this record’s release. Thomas, however, felt the band should take the offer.

The fact that Stanley and Goff were resistant to sign, alongside pressure from the record company to drop the two guitar players, Thomas, Yale, and Doucette decided it was best to part ways with the other members of the band. Splitting the band landed Thomas, Yale, and Doucette a two-record deal with Atlantic Records. With their two guitar players gone, Atlantic introduced the trio to Adam Gaynor, a rhythm guitarist and Kyle Cook, a lead guitarist. The five now comprise Matchbox Twenty, a world-renowned band.

    Man! That was a Twilight Zone moment. I'm hearing what sounds like Matchbox Twenty singing their hit "3AM" but I'm reading an alt-history bio in which their name is Tabitha's Secret.

    Unkind is a much better song than 3 AM, it just so happens that 3 AM is more popular because of Matchbox twenty. Absolutely spectacular though, Rob Thomas is a god.

    Rob Thomas' latest solo album came out this Tuesday, and so i thought I'd share his latest Soundcheck interview on the album with you guys. He goes in-depth on the creation of Cradlesong. http://soundcheck.walmart.com/rob-thomas

    These songs are amazing. I knew nothing of them until I started listening MB20. I think they are both great bands(mainly because of Robs lyrics). The TS songs should definately be rerecorded.
