About this concert
Country music has been inescapable for me, a recurring theme, says Teddy Thompson. At the age of 10 or 11, thats the first thing I heard where my ears pricked up and Im like, Oh, this is music? I like this.The simplicity and emotional intensity of classic country la Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and George Jones has been a big part of Thompsons own sound as an artist, which the New York Times called beautifully finessed and NPR hailed as the musical equivalent of an arrow to the heart. Back in 2007, he explored his roots with Up Front and Down Low, an album of Nashville golden era favorites. And now hes picked up the thread again. Thompson says, The pandemic hit and all bets were off, and the question came up, What can we do musically just for fun? I said, Lets do some country songs. Where the earlier record was made with what he calls an off-the-cuff approach, his latest release, My Love Of Country goes much deeper.

Wonderful venue. Clean, modern, friendly staff and terrific sound. The show was good, tho Teddy Thompson is not the friendliest fellow on stage. Jenni makes up for his surliness by being very open and outgoing. Most importantly they sing so beautifully together. See them if you get the opportunity.

Teddy Thompson Biography
The latest stop – and eighth album – in a career that has carried on the legacy of his parents, British folk-rock legends Richard and Linda Thompson, and found him collaborating with such artists as Rufus Wainwright, Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris, "My Love Of Country" follows 2020’s "Heartbreaker Please," called “buoyant, brilliant and soulful” by "Billboard. "
Over a 6-album body of work, Teddy has carved out his own music path, drawing inspiration from his familial British folk roots, and American folk, soul, country, pop,and rock.
In addition to "My Love of Country," Teddy released "Once More: Teddy Thompson and Jenni Muldaur Sing The Great Country Duets" on Sun Records on September 8, 2023. It is a 12-song collection of tear drop ballads and reflective mid-tempo songs previously recorded by George Jones and Tammy Wynette; Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn; and Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton. Lavished with the sumptuous interlace of Teddy and Jenni’s harmony and lead vocals, these recordings embody the spirit of the originals, but are imbued with the duo’s distinct artistic identities and nuanced musical interplay.
