Evening Concert 2025
The Fourteenth-Annual Fingerstyle Guitar Evening Concert features world-class acoustic guitarists whose captivating performances will raise your spirits!
Tim & Myles Thompson headline the show, and feature the Top-3 Winners of our earlier Competition.
There’s something truly special about the relationship between a father and son, and when that bond is built on a shared love for music, something magical happens. Tim and Myles Thompson have been bringing that magic to audiences all over the country. With performances at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Walnut Valley Festival, and Chet Atkins Festival, they’ve fine-tuned their craft into something truly special. They’ve also had the chance to open for big names like Spyro Gyra, Don Williams, Mountain Heart, Richard Elliot, Aaron Tippin, and Wynonna Judd.
Tim is a session player, singer/songwriter, and two-time winner of the International Fingerstyle Competition. Music has always been a part of the Thompson family, and it’s what inspired Myles to pick up the violin when he was just five years old. By twelve, Myles was already diving into music theory and improvising with a skill well beyond his years. Now, he’s also an accomplished singer/songwriter and mandolin player, and he’s toured with legends like Robben Ford and Crystal Gayle.
Tim has worked with artists like Tommy Emmanuel, Crystal Gayle, and Hwy 101. He’s released eleven CDs and two DVDs and been featured in Wood & Steel (Taylor Guitars), Just Jazz Guitar, and Fingerstyle Guitar, which once called him “a Nashville-based fingerstylist that burns!” Tim has also taught at workshops like the Fur Peace Ranch and Steve Kaufman’s Guitar Camp, and his original music has been featured on NPR, Casper’s Haunted Christmas CD, and even Flip Video Camera software.
The Thompsons’ music is all about original songs that mix storytelling with incredible musicianship. When it comes to cover songs, they make them their own by taking them apart and putting them back together in a way only they can. Their sound is tough to pin down—it blends acoustic rock, pop, country, Celtic, jazz, funk, and so much more.
If you’ve ever seen a Thompson performance, you know it’s an experience you won’t forget.
General Admission tickets are available, as well as VIP seats for the first 5 rows.
