Thompson Square

Thompson Square is an American country music duo composed of Keifer Thompson and his wife, Shawna Thompson
Shawna grew up in tiny Chatom, Ala., learning traditional country songs from her guitar-playing father and listening to Reba McEntire and Alabama on the radio
Keifer was raised in Miami, Okla., where he listened to everything from Roger Miller and Merle Haggard to punk rock and heavy metal before finding finding his true influences from Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty
Both moved to Nashville within the same week, and met at a singing competition a few days after hitting town and it was love at first site
Each had come to Music City intending to pursue a solo career, and for a few years that’s just what they did—long enough to establish styles of their own, and long enough to pay some serious dues
