After starting his professional career in the British folk rock band Fairport Convention, the guitarist has since continued his career as a part of a duo with his former wife Linda Thompson, a sessions player and a solo artist. Some of the artists he has performed or recorded with include David Byrne, Al Stewart, Sandy Denny, John Cale, J.J. Cale, Loudon Wainwright III, T Bone Burnett, Shawn Colvin, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant and The Blind Boys of Alabama, to name a few. In 2010 Thompson was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the Top 20 Guitarists of all Time. Thompson told The Park Record the secret of his success is his love for his career. “I think you have to be excited about music,” Thompson said during a telephone interview from his home in Berkeley, California. “You have to be excited by the prospect of playing, and you also have to see music as a journey that never ends. You have to want to practice and continue to look for new ideas and ways to explore.” That love will show when Thompson plays acoustic solo concerts for three nights, Thursday, Jan. 4, to Saturday, Jan. 6, at the Egyptian Theatre, 328 Main St. The guitarist said the plan is to play an array of songs that span his career. “I expect it will be mixture of some new stuff, including music that I’ve recorded recently, but haven’t released, and some songs from the decades that go back into the 1960s and move forward to the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, zeroes and teens,” he said. “I suspect I’ll perhaps throw in a cover or two.” Thompson, who was anointed Officer of the British Empire (OBE) in 2011, said he enjoys performing acoustic concerts. “I like the feeling of communication, especially if you can create a stillness in the room,” he said. “That shows people are listening and you’re conveying something.” That “something” can be as abstract as an emotion of the song, or something as substantial as the story of the song, Thompson said. “You can feel if the audience gets it, and there’s a real sense of reward for me with that,” he said. “Hopefully, the audience will leave the concerts in Park City with a feeling that something has changed or that they feel more enriched.” Then he quickly added, “At least I hope so. I mean, maybe the shows will be total disas- P PHOTO BY DAVID KAPTEIN Richard Thompson, voted by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the Top 20 guitarists of all time, will perform a string of solo acoustic concerts at the Egyptian Theatre this week. ters.” Still, Thompson promised the concerts will include a “I think everything you hear goes into the big melting pot somewhere, and it’s available for you to pull them out in certain contexts...” Richard Thompson, guitarist half-century of his own musical experiences. “I think everything you hear goes into the big melting pot somewhere, and it’s available for you to pull them out in certain contexts,” he said. “I mean, you may learn things off of records or you might learn things off of sheet music, but to me the most valuable things ever is to watch someone else play or to play with someone else and see and feel how they do it.” One of Thompson’s most memorable moments of his career was performing with Jimi Hendrix. “I was lucky to play him a few times back in the 1960s, and it was interesting to see Jimi up close and see what his process was,” Thompson said. As a child, Thompson became a student of guitar music and would watch Eric Clapton, Peter Green and other British blues players. “While they certainly weren’t really an influence on my music, it was interesting to see how they operated and what kind of emotions they put into their music,” he said. In addition to the rock and pop players, Thompson also stopped into folk clubs to see Davey Graham and Martin Carthy, who were British fingerstyle acoustic guitar players. “They had their own blend of blues, British traditional and folk styles,” he said. “So what I’m saying is that one style [like mine] is a mix of the bits I wanted to acquire.” While all of the aforementioned guitarists did leave their mark on Thompson, his main musical influence was the British instrumental band, The Shadows, who were known for the hits “Apache,” “Wonderful Land” and “Dance On.” “They were equivalent to the American band, The Ventures,” he said. “But if you Please see Guitarist, C-4 MUSTANG i Restaurant i Volunteer opportunities are in every issue of The Park Record and a complete list can be found online at Parkrecord.com/volunteers $25 $25 Off Off 22Entrees Entrees Offer valid thru 1/17/18 on credit card purchases.
