Meet Will and Lindsey Thompson. Seriously, meet them through their music. The married couple signed with First Note Entertainment and individually just completed solo albums worthy of a listener’s full attention. Will’s CD Turn it Up and Lindsey’s CD Inside Out represent completely different genres of music – but both are committed to the First Note philosophy of taking the big corporate record label machine out of the process and anchoring to organic, grassroots, relationship-centered music.
As producer, songwriter and recording artist for the entire album, Will Thompson delivers rocking country music that is championed by some of Nashville’s best players and collaborators. Will’s voice is soulful and frequently unpredictable. With solid instrumentals and a vocal build up after the break to a note so high it’s rocker praiseworthy, the title track, “Turn It Up,” will make you do just that. It also sets the tone for the entire album. There is an old school color with fiddle, dobro, mandolin, and banjo, but with electric guitars and driving beats it satisfies even the youngest country music fan. Combine those elements with a remarkably skilled vocal aptitude and you’ve got hits.
Will remarks, “The people I work with call me the ‘energy guy.’ I have always been that way… connecting people and bringing them into the beat, the melody.” Will co-wrote the song with Caleb Middleton and songwriters Tim Jackson (whose songs have been placed in more than 50 TV shows, albums and movies), Brian and Aaron Henningsen (a father and son team who have written No. 1 hits for The Band Perry, Sara Evans, and Wynonna Judd), and Onree Gill (who is currently Music Director for John Mayer, Alicia Keys, Prince and formerly Stevie Wonder).
“I don’t think I’ve had this much fun mixing an album in a long time,” says Billy Decker, the man behind that segment of both projects who has had 10 No. 1 Billboard country singles. He confirms “Great voice plus great songs equals Superstar!” Expect clever lyrics, stacked harmonies, well-played instrumentation, and feel-good songs like “I Just Wanna Play” and “Tonight.”
Will and Lindsey live in Panama City and are performing sold-out shows like the recent performances at Trebeaché on 30A with First Note Entertainment artists.
