We will definitely bring fun, good music and a good time to the event. My song book is vast and there will be something for everyone. I love crowd interaction and have no problem sharing the stage with budding talent.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my site. My name is Richard Thompson. I am a hobbyist who loves to play music. I’m not a professional musician and I do not rely on music to provide me a living. Some may say thank goodness, but music is an escape for me. Through the years I have played in many bands, done some duo work and performed as a solo act. I have played the clubs, festivals, parties, charity events, nursing homes, homeless shelters, county fairs and farmer’s markets. I just love to play.
I am not a “Singer/Songwriter” and I do not perform music that makes a “statement.” My choice of music centers around the styles that I grew up with and that I have always enjoyed when I go out on the town. I have played all styles from Old Country, Gospel, Contemporary Gospel, New Country, Blues to Classic Rock and Roll. I enjoy performing and having a good time. My show incorporates fun with music, and I love the crowd interaction.
You’ve heard the expression “Sing for your Supper”, well that is how I usually get started in doing a regular gig. Drinks and tips work just as good for me. I don’t play for the money, but I don’t mind if you offer. I just want to perform. If you are looking for a good time with some music that you can enjoy, give me a try. You can contact me at (email hidden)
I have a soft spot in my heart for doing charity gigs for Veterans, Children with medical needs, Law Enforcement and First Responders.
This is just some of the songs I have in my song book.

I love old country, classic 60, 70 and 80's fun songs. My style is a mix of rockabilly country and rock music.
