Named by Rolling Stone as one of the top 20 guitarists of all time, Richard Thompson was co-founder of the ground-breaking Fairport Convention, which virtually invented British folk rock in the 1960s.
In this rare concert experience, it's anyone’s guess what Thompson will play. All songs will be picked from selections submitted by the audience, and unknown to all (including Thompson) until the moment they're presented to him onstage. A totally unique show each night.
Please note that all song requests will be submitted and collected as patrons enter the theatre.
"The finest rock songwriter after Dylan, and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix."
-The Los Angeles Times
Named by Rolling Stone as one of the top 20 guitarists of all time, Richard Thompson was co-founder of the ground-breaking Fairport Convention, which virtually invented British folk rock in the 1960s. Powered by evocative songcraft, jaw-dropping guitar playing, and indefinable spirit, Richard Thompson holds a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association in Nashville and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BBC Awards, among his many accolades. Thompson’s influence can’t be overstated. Everybody from Robert Plant, Don Henley, and Elvis Costello to REM, Sleater-Kinney and David Byrne has covered his music. His style has had a seismic impact on both American and U.K. folk and rock, incorporating elements of traditional music in a way that makes him a living legend.
