Lowell Thompson @ The Living Room
August 28th, 2007 - by John
Lowell Thompson is an extremely talented young musician from Burlington, VT. On Saturday he made a stop at The Living Room in NYC’s east village for a special acoustic set. The Living Room is one of my favorite venues for acoustic music- intimate- and the crowd is always there to listen. Thompson treated the crowd to cuts from his excellent self titled album including “Anna,” and “Turn Me Home” in addition to some new cuts and a couple of covers from Neil Young and Gram Parsons. Bill Mullins, the guitarist from Lowell’s band, accompanied also playing acoustic. Bill took a solo on almost every cut- which typically I would find excessive at an acoustic show. But Mullins was up to the task- pulling out some very impressive and appropriate chops. Lowell plays regularly in the Burlington but you can check him out in NYC again on September 28th at Pianos.
Check out one of my favorite Lowell songs “Anna”.
