Description

Named by Rolling Stone as one of the top 20 guitarists of all time, Richard Thompson was co-founder of the ground-breaking Fairport Convention, which virtually invented British folk rock in the 1960s.

In this rare concert experience, it's anyone’s guess what Thompson will play. All songs will be picked from selections submitted by the audience, and unknown to all (including Thompson) until the moment they're presented to him onstage. Submit your request when you purchase your ticket, and the top songs will be generated randomly at each concert. A totally unique show each night!

"The finest rock songwriter after Dylan, and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix."

-The Los Angeles Times

His style has had a seismic impact on both American and U.K. folk and rock, incorporating elements of traditional music in a way that makes him a living legend.
