Part of series : 2008-09 performance season
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. 12 and A special evening of Worksongs, Ballads and Rallying Cries is Dec 14.
