Thompson Twins Return to Music Box 16th Anniversary
The Music Box house concert series began in July 2000 with Chris and Meredith Thompson whose unique blend of the almost identical voices of twins gives them beautiful harmonies. They will perform on Saturday, August 20 at 8 PM for the 16th Anniversary of the Music Box! Their harmonies and musicianship along with their original songwriting unite to make their concerts a powerful, moving yet also fun experience.
The Thompsons weave vocals, flute, guitar and percussion together creating a sound that is genuine, beautiful, and moving. These identical twin sisters grew up down the street from Stone Soup Coffeehouse in Providence RI where they played their first show in 1992, and have since played in venues across the US and released seven albums. Chris plays percussive, riff driven guitar. Meredith plays authentic Latin rhythms on congas and adds flute to their sound. Both sisters sing in close harmony both earthy and ethereal.
The Thompsons link music and stories together to create an engaging, animated performance rich in texture, mood and character and tell stories that resonate with the audience, stories that celebrate common experience. "It is their mix of intriguing stories of people's hopes and histories that makes the Thompsons music so compelling" writes MaryAnn Robertson, Spotlight, Portsmouth, NH.
