   About Lynn Thompson Band
Singer songwriter Lynn Thompson spans a wildly eclectic spectrum of musical styles; his acoustic frenzy is haunting and captivating. Strong vocals and curious rhythms blend in a pleasing repertoire that is uniquely fringe.

His recent album is a compendium of thought provoking imagery.
A strong connection with emotions, the elements and everyday experiences makes this album electrically charged. Armed with a 12 string, Thompson spins an ingeniously sound distinct for ears of many who want to listen to something out of the ordinary. Much of the music is sexy, fun, upbeat and danceable.

Lynn Thompson is a self-taught musician and lyricist and has been exploring creative styles since the age of 9 and performs regularly on the Michigan and Chicago live scene. Thompson is real yet illusive artist that the discerning music lover should get acquainted with.

LYNN THOMPSON BAND PRESS..

(RECOIL MAGAZINE): Led by the 12 string guitar-playing singer songwriter Lynn Thompson, this record features a roster of great talent that brings an unusually professional texture to a local effort. Aside from the obvious Dave Matthews angle, the record has moments of Morphine, with beefy riffs and bari sax, along with Thompson's direct lyrical style. Overall, a cool funk moves through the album, punctuated by the occasional rock grind and harmony-driven layers of horns. Produced and engineered by Grand Rapids veteran Al McAvoy, all the virtuosic, understated musical components are clearly audible for the keen listener. ---Ryan Cunningham)

(GRAND RAPIDS PRESS): At times Lynn Thompson sounds like West Michigan's version of Dave Matthews; at others, he delves into a jazz-blues-funk thing with refreshing results. His fourth album covers the gamut in riveting, rhythmic fashion.---John Sinkevics

(REVUE MAGAZINE) Classify this album under "meaty, invigorating blues/jazz infused rock. MORE MONEY features some great interaction among Grand Rapids' best local talent on saxophones, bass and percussion in particular. Guitar, flute and vocals flesh out the already strong performances. Tracks are hook and groove laden from beginning to end. Saxophones are often the driving force, and whether its an extended solo or simply flourished, they remain prominent throughout. Sax is smooth on the opener "Feelin' Numb" which has enough funky pep to herald the following "More Money" Where the solos take off. Shifting with a grungy, heavy push on "Dream Girl" (track 3) which is a swanky tune about about a movie starlet. "Let Me In" (track 6) is a soft ballad and welcome breather; It's the one song you can slow dance too. The album finishes strong with "Woo Me" (track 9) Which begins innocently and becomes a sassy, rocking tune, leading perfectly into the deep grooves of the rowdy "Come To Daddy." Playfulness from the previous track turns naughty here. This is a pretty sexy album overall. ---Michael Loffelman

Read the interview from the Revue Magazine's November 2008 issue. ---Katie Reily Mitchell Byron Bay, Australia
