Known mostly for his unique and powerful style of slide guitar playing, Colin Thompson is a young Washington D.C. area guitarist and singer who has been performing live since his young teenage years. His mix of swampy blues and soul-infused rock creates something that is truly special. Colin has shared the stage with artists such as, Johnny Winter, Cris Jacobs, Eric Gales, Indigenous, Deanna Bogart, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Gin Blossoms, Billy Joe Shaver, Congo Sanchez (Thievery Corporation), and countless others. Teddy Chipouras is a thoughtful singer-songwriter that manages to lead the listener into profound situations through unapologetic imagery and prose. He is able to seamlessly incorporate unusual turns of phrase that are difficult to reproduce, and his songs are catchy but thoughtful.
