PROGRAM NOTES
Join as The GRAMMY Museum welcomes guitar virtuoso and British folk rock icon Richard Thompson to its state-of-the-art Sound Stage. Before an intimate audience of 200, hear Thompson in conversation about his astounding guitar playing, prolific career, numerous honors, and continually expanding catalogue of music. After the interview, Thompson will take questions from the audience and perform a few songs, showing us why Rolling Stone recently called him "a perennial dark-horse contender for the title of greatest living rock guitarist." GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares Vice President Scott Goldman, a great guitarist himself, will conduct the interview.
