Live at The Southgate House Revival - Sanctuary in Newport: An Evening with Teddy Thompson

Price includes all applicable state and local taxes.Teddy ThompsonNever Be The Same Beloved London-born, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson has returned with the exquisitely crafted Never Be The Same, his first collection of original material since 2020. Across ten tracks, Thompson refines his craft via an exploration of musics enduring preoccupations love, longing, and the uneasy passage of time.This album wasnt built upon a grand narrative. There was no self-imposed exile, no forced reinvention. Instead, it is centered around an exhortation that is threaded through the songs like a refrain: Never Be The Same, its title only revealing itself to Thompson after hed completed the recording.Its a phrase that, unconsciously, I used twice. And when I saw it on the page, I realized, this is the message of this album, says Thompson. Dont ever be the same. Change. Grow! Even when the sentiment is, woe is me, Ill never recover after that love or loss. The message is still, change. Dont get too comfortable. Everything is temporary, so evolve or perish!This pull and tension between comfort and change runs quietly throughout Never Be The Same, Thompsons 11th album, which was produced by renowned Grammy Awardwinning musician/producer David Mansfield. At the core is Thompsons longstanding commitment to songwriting as a form, inspired by early influences like Chuck Berry, Hank Williams, and Crowded House, as well as the towering figures of the craft Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, and, certainly, his parents, British folk icons Richard and Linda Thompson.
