Thompson Newkirk

Thompson Newkirk is New York City's southern rock artist. Thompson's music is guitar forward, upbeat, and lyric based. He tells stories about love lost, getting kicked out of Canada, run in's with the law, and not letting the harsh realities of life win over the soul. His main influences stem from groups like Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dire Straits, and Phish. Almost every one of Thompson's songs start in one place and through twists, rhythm changes and breaks, end somewhere down the road. His high energy fun and audience participation style makes for a show that you don't want to miss.
