Quickly becoming a Grand favorite, the legendary Richard Thompsons returns in a solo show t following a 2010 hit performance at The Grand. The skilled British folk-rock guitarist boasts an astounding body of work – over 40 studio albums to date – and is famed for playing an inventive mix of blues and rock. Thompson’s contemporary songwriting style draws upon the deep traditions of British electric folk, and, “like all genuine art, it satisfies completely,” according to Newsweek.

Aside from dozens of star-studded collaborations (including projects with Robert Plant, R.E.M., Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Los Lobos, Loudon Wainwright III, and The Blind Boys of Alabama) and his immeasurable influence on modern rock, Thompson has been recognized for his immense guitar talents, including the honor of being named one of the “Top 20 Guitarists of All Time” by Rolling Stone magazine in 2003.
