Thomas Nassi (March 2, 1892 – December 21, 1964) was an Albanian-American musician and music educator in both Albania and the United States, his adopted country.
Olympia Tsika was a talented singer who had emigrated to the United States from the very same town (Dardha) in Albania, where Nassi was born and spent his first six years.
Discharged as a naturalized citizen in 1920, Nassi took a remobilized Vatra Band to Albania in order to support the Albanian Independence movement.
In 1924, Yugoslav-assisted forces of Ahmet Zogu seized power from the democratically oriented government led by Bishop Fan S. Noli.
Nassi returned to the United States and reassumed musical activity in the Albanian Orthodox Churches in Massachusetts.
