Bobby Thompson Band
Renowned for their electrifying live shows, the Bobby Thompson Trio+ (the plus denoting a quartet at times) delivers a high-voltage blend of electric blues rock that has made waves in the Washington DC area and up and down the east coast of the United States. In 2019, Thompson’s self-title full-electric album garnered regional hits such as ‘My Everything’ and ‘On the Ground’, which are played regularly on stations such as WPFW in Washington DC. The trio's unique fusion of soulful vocals and electrifying guitar riffs has mesmerized audiences and garnered widespread acclaim, establishing them as a rising force in the electric blues rock scene.
The Bobby Thompson Trio's impassioned lyrics and evocative melodies strike a chord with audiences, immersing them in a dynamic musical experience. Their dedication to honoring the essence of the blues tradition while injecting it with their own creative flair distinguishes them as a compelling and relevant voice in the contemporary electric blues rock landscape. As a testament to their unwavering commitment and musical prowess, the trio's music continues to captivate an expanding fan base, cementing their status as a prominent presence in the electric music scene.
The trio took the stage at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2015, preceding the launch of Thompson’s lauded album ‘Live at IOTA’, which was recorded in Arlington, Virginia. Following their tour along the east coast that summer, the trio returned home and expanded their lineup by adding a keyboard player to enrich their sound, resulting in the album swiftly becoming a fan favorite. Tracks such as ‘Good Things That We Have’ and ‘Nobody’s Fool’ have become fan favorites, prompting numerous requests, and the album maintains substantial CD sales and online streaming numbers.
Bobby has opened for Marcus King, Jimmie Vaughan, Sue Foley, and The Iguanas in the past few years, and garnered the attention of Gary Clark Jr in 2013 when opened for him, with another band, and displayed a high-level of a blues-rock performance.
