Thompson Square...Country Duo Magic

Thompson Square, country music’s new power duo, is on quite a run.  Husband and wife team, Keifer and Shawna Thompson, who met at a songwriting competition in Nashville, are proving that determination and hard work do in fact pay off. 

After pounding the pavement and paying their dues for 15 years, their recent ascent to the top of the country music duo scene is quite impressive.  Radio airplay magic came in the form of their first #1 Platinum single, “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not.”  The song became the iTunes Country Song of the Year for 2011, as well as the Most Played Song At Country Radio in 2011 (Mediabase). 

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, what happened next is nothing short of amazing….and much deserved!  The awards and accolades started flooding in:

      American Country Awards Single of the Year by a Group

      American Country Awards Single of the Year by a New Artist

      American Country Awards Music Video of the Year by a New Artist

………..all for Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not

      Grammy Nomination for Best Country Song

      Grammy Nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance of the Year

      American Music Award Nomination for New Artist of the Year

Perhaps the most impressive of all…the 2012 Academy of Country Music’s Vocal Duo of the Year.  They are the first new duo in 20 years to win this category!

            On the heels of their massive success, Thompson Square is set to release their 2^nd CD, “Just Feels Good,” on Stoney Creek Records March 26^th.  The first single, If I Didn’t Have You, written by Keifer, Shawna, Jason Sellers and Paul Jenkins, is already breaking career sales records.

            The future is certainly looking bright indeed for this talented pair.  Be sure to catch them on tour in a town near you.  They are out with Luke Bryan on his Dirt Road Diaries Tour through October 2013.  In the meantime, enjoy the songs that helped put them on the map.
