Artists bios:

THOMPSON SQUARE

Everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard Thompson Square. It’s been a decade since the husband-and-wife team of Keifer and Shawna Thompson exploded out of Nashville with their multi-platinum mega-hit “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not”, and crowds remain hungry for more. The GRAMMY®-nominated duo has toured the world; won multiple awards; appeared on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, NBC’s TODAY Show, CBS This Morning, as well as numerous primetime TV specials and awards shows; earned No. 1 records in three countries, and even launched their own podcast. They’ve been praised as “remarkable” by Taste of Country, “deeply personal and emotional” by Sounds Like Nashville, and “vivacious” by Rolling Stone. And now, after taking time out over the last few years to focus on family, the pair are back on the scene in full force.

Thompson Square’s music has always been quintessentially grounded in their identity as a couple. Whether basking in the light of one another in the No. 1 smash, “If I Didn’t Have You,” or shocking the neighbors with flirty, distracting thoughts in Top 10 hit “Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About,” Thompson Square’s openness with its audience has always made them one of the most intimate acts working today.

With most recent release, upbeat “Livin In The Country” written by Keifer and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line.  Keifer and Shawna take us on a trip back to the country where both spend the formative years of their life.  This is the kind of song that some can make up but when it comes to Thompson Square, Keifer and Shawna lived it and still do to this day. 

APRIL CUSHMAN

Named a top 10 emerging artist and songwriter in 2023 by Tractor Supply and Grammy-winning and multi-ACM winning country artist, Lainey Wilson, New Hampshire native April is a vocal force in the Northeast.  April continues to be sought-after artist who pulls in hearts and ears with every performance.  Commonly referred to as a “blend of Ashley McBryde with the story telling of Lori McKenna”, April finds inspiration in the every day to use as subjects for her music.

April is a New Hampshire native, residing primarily in Swanzey, NH on her family farm (Highland Farm) with her husband and daughter, and part time in Nashville, Tennessee.  She has been writing songs with hit writers Marty Dodson, Blue Foley, Rob Snyder, Trick Savage and more in preparation for her sophomore album, “The Price I Pay”, which is set to release this spring, 2026.
