Special Guest Bob Thompson To Perform


Summer Songwriter's Night 2009 is pleased to once again welcome Bob Thompson, M.D., of Columbia, to the stage. Thompson has been a pediatrician in Columbia for 32 years and has performed the past three years at the annual Songwriter's Night. One of his most notable songs for this occasion, "Peggy's Field" is the perfect opener to a great night of music in the beautiful fields at Antrim.

At age 9, Bob Thompson bought his first rock and roll record, a 78 rpm of "Party Doll" by Buddy Knox. Six years later, he bought his first guitar that, according to Bob, completely changed his life in determining the college he attended, his spouse, and his decision to live in Columbia. He has played in several bands over the years, including the Tennessee Pride and has continued to develop his passion in blues, bluegrass and Americana music. His musical influences are Jesse Winchester, Delbert McClinton, Guy Clark, and Lester Flatt.

A principal organizer and participant of Summer Songwriter's Night, we welcome Bob Thompson once again to kick off the wonderful evening.
