Thompson Springs is the project of Chicagoan Matt Smith. His hazy songwriting, which PBS called "western rock,” and love of the road and unknown, has led the band down a circuitous route on tours across Europe, New Zealand, and the expanse of America. Detroit Public Radio (WDET) noted that they pull influences from classic songwriters, like Tom Petty, to more recent indie artists, like Kurt Vile. Thompson Springs started working with Kurt Vile collaborator Rob Laakso as well as Wilco’s Pat Sansone for their debut album, Undertones, which they released on Dropped Beauty Recordings in 2020. 2023 will bring a new album, Standby, produced by Pat Keen of Humbird, and recorded live, featuring the full 6 piece band and the debut of harmonica player Ryan Suzuka.
Concert begins at 7:00 pm at Von Baer Park in Providence. Please bring a chair or blanket to enjoy the show. Lucky Slice pizza will be available for pre-order and delivery to the park beginning the week of the concert.
