Doog Music and Western Reserve Folk Arts Association (WRFAA) welcome Richard

February 4th at 7pm. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 day of show.

Richard Thompson first performed 1000 Years of Popular Music at the Getty
Museum in Los Angeles. He has performed multiple-night stands in Chicago,
New York, London, and several other major U.S. cities. His Kent Stage
performance is the only Northeast Ohio stop for this tour. Accompanying
musicians are Judith Owen and Debra Dobkin.

 

The set list varies from night to night, but has been known to start in the
13th century and move to medieval Italian ballads to selections from the
songbooks of Gilbert & Sullivan, Stephen Foster, Ray Charles, Hank Williams,
The Beatles, The Who, Squeeze, Prince, and even Britney Spears, all strung
together by Richard's vocals, incomparable guitar playing and dry wit.

 

Thompson, named in Rolling Stone's Top 20 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,
is still writing and performing his poetically crafted songs in his
distinctive style after nearly forty years and fifty albums. He delivers his
expertly crafted songs with the throaty voice of a modern troubadour, and
his works have been covered by artists from REM to Bonnie Raitt.
