Album: Masterpiece
Label: Independent
Release date: March 28, 2018
The husband-and-wife country duo comprised of Keifer Thompson and Shawna Thompson, Thompson Square, have announced that their first release post parting with Stoney Creek Records will be a four track EP entitled Masterpiece.
On their newfound musical freedom, Keifer told South New Jersey Daily, "...There is a freedom associated with us right now. We are literally making all of the decisions and we can pick what songs we want to do and how to do them, and not have to answer to anybody. It’s good and bad, but right now we are enjoying the freedom, the creative freedom I should say."
Shawna grew up in Chatom, AL, where she listened to acts like Alabama and Reba McEntire on the radio and learned country songs from her guitar-playing father. Keifer hails from Miami, OK, where he was drawn to everything from Roger Miller to Merle Haggard and punk rock to heavy metal before honing his songwriting talent by listening to artists like Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. Shawna and Keifer relocated to Nashville the same week, and met at a singing competition a few days later -- by all accounts, it was love at first sight. Both pursued solo careers in Nashville, though, for several years before deciding to go as a duo when they signed with Stoney Creek Records early in 2010 and were soon working on a debut album. An initial single, “Let’s Fight,” was released by the label in June of 2010, followed by a second signature smash single, “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not,” a month later in July
