Eric and Suzy Thompson

Eric and Suzy Thompson specialize in the down-home sounds of the American south: oldtime Appalachian ballads and breakdowns, classic blues and jug band songs, bluegrass hot licks, and Louisiana Cajun dance music. Eric’s flatpicking on guitar and mandolin is exceptional for its purity of tone, speed, and soulfulness; Suzy is a powerful blues singer, an award-winning fiddler and Cajun accordion player who has apprenticed with older Louisiana Cajun musicians under an NEA Fellowship.
