   About Vince Thompson
Vince Thompson sings songs of experience in a resonant, baritone voice. He has been influenced by the lean, truthful lyrics of Merle Haggard and the sweet melodies of Hank Williams, along with the rhythms of jazz and rock & roll, His own compositions are written from the perspective of a man who, after growing up in California, traveled far from home for months at a time, over many years as a deck officer aboard large ships. In his performances, Vince includes uptempo tunes and ballads, original compositions and songs of others. Listeners will hear the impact of country and bluegrass in his music, along with an assured, smooth style, pointing to the influence of jazz and swing. Together with some of the finest musicians in New England, Vince plays music that sounds good and makes you feel something. The typical lineup includes Vince on rhythm guitar and vocals with upright bass, drums and electric guitar.

NEW MUSIC, HERE & NOW!!! Just wanted to let you know I've been hard at work in the studio for my long overdue sophomore album, and have just posted a new track for you to preview. The song is called "SLOW ME DOWN" and it's a demo that I did at home, co-written by the very talented Johnny Reid! I am so excited about the new album that I just couldn't wait to share SOMETHING with everybody, so I hope you enjoy this little "sneak peak"!! I look forward to hearing from you about the track, and encourage you to check out the new pictures I've put up. Hope you are having a great week! Cyndi

Hi Vince,

Yes, the 2005 gig at L&M - I remember it. It doesn't seem that long ago, time flies.

Great songs and sound on your CD, I love the vocal work as well.

Jim is awesome, very talented and certainly an influence on my music.
Say hi to your siblings and musicians down in CT. for me, I'm still up here in MA. plucking away.

Peace in the journey,
John Small
