Listen: Thompson Square releases “Glass” as new single
Hot country duo Thompson Square – Miami, OK, native Keifer Thompson and wife Shawna – are releasing the fragile ballad “Glass” as the third single from their smash self-titled debut album.
The love song puts Shawna Thompson’s vocals, which are very vulnerable and soft, in the forefront, and in an interview this morning, Keifer told me that was a big factor in their decision to make it the next single.
The duo has been busy tour and racking up awards and accolades over the past year and haven’t had many chances to play Keifer’s home state. But they’re rectifying that in first few months of 2012, with three planned tour dates in the Sooner State.
Thompson Square will open for Lady Antebellum Jan. 27 at Tulsa’s BOK Center (that’s the first stop of Lady A’s new leg of their “Own the Night” tour) and April 7 at Norman’s Lloyd Noble Center. For more information, go to www.thompsonsquare.com.
The duo also will headline Buffalo Run Casino in Keifer’s hometown of Miami on Feb. 17. For more information, go to www.buffalorun.com.
In addition, Thompson Square are among the eight semi-finalists for its ACM New Artist of the Year.
The ACM is inviting fans to vote to help pare the semi-finalists to three nominees. The final three nominees will be announced in February and will move on to compete for ACM New Artist of the Year, which will be announced live April 1 during the 47th Annual ACM Awards, co-hosted by Oklahoma country stars Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire and airing on CBS.
Fans can vote on the ACM New Artist of the Year semi-finalists once a day through noon Eastern/11 a.m. Central Jan. 30 at GACTV.com.
