Everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard Thompson Square. It’sbeen a decade since the husband-and-wife team of Keifer and Shawna Thompson exploded out of Nashville with their multi-platinum mega-hit “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not”, and crowds remain hungry for more. The GRAMMY®-nominated duo has toured the world; won multiple awards; appeared on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, NBC’s TODAY Show, CBS This Morning, as well as numerous primetime TV specials and awards shows; earned No. 1 records in three countries, and even launched their own podcast. They’ve been praised as “remarkable” by Taste of Country, “deeply personal and emotional” by Sounds Like Nashville, and “vivacious” by Rolling Stone. And now, after taking time out over the last few years to focus on family, the pair are back on the scene in full force. “Keifer and I really got back to our roots,” says Shawna of this country music homecoming, “But we’ve grown too, and the music reflects all of that.” The duo’s new material promises all the hallmarks that made audiences fall for the Thompsons in the first place, as well as showcasing everything that life, touring and starting a family has taught them. Thompson Square’s music has always been quintessentially grounded in their identity as a couple. Whether basking in the light of one another in the No. 1 smash, “If I Didn’t Have You,” or shocking the neighbors with flirty, distracting thoughts in Top 10 hit “Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About,” Thompson Square’s openness with its audience has always made them one of the most intimate acts working today. And their new music is no exception. Each song from the upcoming record tells a story of a both a life-lived romance that encapsulates both the dizzying highs and paralyzing lows of love and partnership and high energy fun songs about real life. We’ve been writing for our live show. We love taking our fans on a journey through our life that we feel mirrors many of theirs. Some of it is sad, some romantic and some is just about having a good time. With most recent release, upbeat “Livin In The Country” written by Keifer and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line. Keifer and Shawna take us on a trip back to the country where both spend the formative years of their life. This is the kind of song that some can make up but when it comes to Thompson Square, Keifer and Shawna lived it and still do to this day.
