Irwin Thomas is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on January 6, 1971 in Manhattan, Manhattan, Australia. Irwin Thomas Whittridge was born in Manhattan, New York City. His father Private Irwin Thomas Whittridge Snr (born, c.1909 – June 1971), who went under the stage name of Jack Goode, was a Broadway performer. His mother, Renalda Whittridge (née Green), was an Australian-born folk singer and dancer; she returned to Australia in 1980, with her son. He was later known as Jack Thomas Whittridge Jones.
Southern Sons debut self-titled album was released on 1 June 1990, which peaked at No. 5 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Their first single, “Heart in Danger”, was released in August, it also reached No. 5 on the related ARIA Singles Chart. Jones and Buckle toured Australia and Europe as members of Farnham’s backing band to promote Chain Reaction. Southern Sons were a support act on Farnham’s tours in 1990 and 1991. The group also undertook their own headlining national tours. Buckle disputed media criticism that Southern Sons “sounded too similar to John Farnham’s music”; he felt that although “Jack Jones, has a similar voice, they are very different. He believes the Sons guitar work makes for a harder sound.” Bowman left the group as a four-piece in mid-1992.
Jones was married to New Zealand-born Australian actress Rebecca Gibney from 1992 to 1995, which ended in divorce. In December 1994 Gibney promoted her recent romantic comedy film, Lucky Break; she described her differences from her character, to The Canberra Times’ David Bongiorno, “She’s so unlike any other character I’ve played before. She’s a woman you love to hate… And there’s a part of me in there, because I know I wouldn’t let my husband (Jack Jones of Southern Sons) go easily at all!” She explained that the couple had no immediate plans to have children, “I want financial and career security before I become a mum. Only then will I take time off to have kids. And when I do, they’ll be my absolute priority.”
As a member of Southern Sons, Thomas co-wrote some of their later material, including three tracks on their second album, Nothing But the Truth (November 1992), and six of eleven tracks for their third album, Zone (1995). The latter album was co-produced by the band with former member, Bowman. By the end of 1995 the group disbanded.
While at a secondary school in the city of Traralgon, in the mid-1980s, Thomas was a member of rock groups Get off the Cat and then Survival.

Irwin Thomas (born Irwin Thomas Whittridge on 6 January 1971) is an American- born Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist. He performs professionally using the stage name Jack Jones from when he was the lead vocalist-guitarist in the band Southern Sons (1990–1996). His other bands and collaborations include Electric Mary, She Said Yes and Ahmet Zappa. He released his debut solo album, “The Evolution Of Irwin Thomas”, in 2002.
In the late 1980s he was a member of Hans Valen, which covered material by United States heavy rocker, Van Halen; and then he was in Gnomes of Zurich. As Jones, he auditioned as lead vocalist for a Melbourne-based rock, pop group, the State. The State had formed in 1987, with the line-up of Peter Bowman on lead guitar and backing vocals (ex-Cutters), Phil Buckle on guitar and lead vocals (Cutters), Geoff Cain on bass guitar and Virgil Donati on drums (Taste, Cutters). He was considered too young for that group.
In mid-1990 Thomas, as Jones (on lead guitar), worked alongside Buckle in John Farnham’s backing band to record that artist’s album, Chain Reaction (September 1990). Jones, on lead vocals and lead guitar, was asked by Buckle to form the Southern Sons, with former the State members: Bowman, Cain and Donati. In April 1991 Buckle explained to Charles Miranda of The Canberra Times that Jones was recruited because “[The State] were going nowhere fast. At this stage [in late 1989] Buckle realised that his songs had potential but his voice didn’t”.
