Solo fingerstyle guitar: one guy, plucking and slapping away with no singing. 6-string, 12-string and microtonal guitars and a few duets with a trumpet player.
Bio / Background
Nick Thompson is a solo acoustic guitar player in New York. Some songs sound like lullabys. Some sound like tornadoes. Some are plaintive, and a few are jubillant.
There's a fair amount of slapping the guitar, and a decent amount of plucking too. Many people say he sounds like Michael Hedges and Leo Kottke. But there are also strong hints of jazz and classical influences.
Three of the songs are spellbinding duets with Thompson's longtime friend, the trumpet player Taylor Ho Bynum from the Fully Celebrated Orchestra.
