Richard Thompson

Please join me at City Winery NYC on July 1st, as we close a chapter…this will be among the last few shows at the old building, so we’ll go out in style! I will play an appropriately retrospective show, lots of songs from the 60s/70s…and look forward to the next Winery incarnation! RT tickets: https://bit.ly/2N3foh5

Hey UK brothers and sisters! This is a remarkable film, that I had the privilege to compose the score for. For one day only - July4th -it has a wide theatrical release in the UK at 170 cinemas. Strongly recommended!

Nice mention from the NYT about our performance of 'Killed In Action' at the Big Ears Festival!

Big Ears Festival patrons, don't miss Richard this Saturday at the Songs of Our Ancestors panel at Visit Knoxville. The panel takes place between 3:00 - 4:00 PM and includes moderator Ann Powers and participants Rhiannon Giddens and Rachel Grimes. This panel brings together three groundbreaking artists who have crafted major works through direct encounters with archival material, including the diaries and letters of World War 1 soldiers; American slave narratives; and the personal effects of family members.

Join us next Wednesday in Montclair! I'll be reading from my forthcoming book 'Beeswing' and playing some songs - Warren and Zara will be similarly reading and singing.
