Richard Thompson - A Very Special All-request Evening December 12, 2008

Richard Thompson takes audience requests during this special, intimate acoustic performance.

Named one of the top 20 guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine, this British folk-rock legend has been an innovative musical force for over 40 years. USA Today called his songs “emotionally complex” noting “[his] guitar work is even more so, by turns sharp and tender, subtle and direct.” Thompson's body of work includes over 60 albums that combine musical virtuosity with poignant, award-winning songwriting. “On electric guitar he's merely brilliant; on acoustic he does things that don't seem humanly possible,” says the San Francisco Chronicle. Additional All-Request acoustic performance is Dec. 13 and A special evening of Worksongs, Ballads and Rallying Cries is Dec 14.
