About





Richard Thompsonโ€™s musical influence cannot be overstated. Having co-founded the groundbreaking group Fairport Convention as a teenager in the โ€˜60s, he and his bandmates invented the distinctive strain of British Folk Rock. He left the group by the age of 21 which was followed by a decade long musical partnership with his then-wife Linda, to over 30 years as a highly successful solo artist. In 2011, Thompson received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. The Los Angeles Times called him โ€œthe finest rock songwriter after Dylan and the best electric guitarist since Hendrixโ€ and Rolling Stone has named him one of the Top 100 Guitarists of All Time. He has received lifetime achievement awards for songwriting from the BBC Radio 2 Awards, the Americana Music Association, and was awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello Award. His song โ€œ1952 Vincent Black Lightningโ€ was named one of TIME Magazineโ€™s โ€œ100 Greatest Songs Since 1923.โ€ A wide range of musicians have recorded Thompsonโ€™s songs including Robert Plant, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Sleater-Kinney, Del McCoury, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Jones, David Byrne, Don Henley, Los Lobos, and many more. His massive body of work includes many Grammy nominated albums as well as numerous soundtracks, including Werner Herzogโ€™s Grizzly Man and 2019โ€™s The Cold Blue. His genre defying mastery of both acoustic and electric guitar along with engaging energy and onstage wit continue to earn him new fans and a place as one of the most distinctive virtuosos and writers in Folk Rock history. On May 31, 2024 Richard Thompson will release the anticipated Ship To Shore, his first studio album in six years....
