An Evening with Richard Thompson – Wednesday Show

August 31, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 11:00 pm

$125

Richard Thompson is a British folk-rock icon who is a triple threat talent: dazzling guitarist, strong and insightful songwriter, and gifted vocalist.

Powered by evocative songcraft, jaw-dropping guitar playing, and indefinable spirit, Richard Thompson is a living legend who’s influence cannot be overstated. Everybody from Robert Plant, Don Henley, and Elvis Costello to REM, Sleater-Kinney and David Byrne has covered his music. He’s received GRAMMY nominations, holds a coveted spot on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and counts a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association in Nashville, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BBC Awards among his many accolades. 2011 saw Thompson garner an OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. Moreover, Time touted his anthem, “1952 Vincent Black Lightning,” on its “100 Greatest Songs Since 1923” list.
