Teddy Thompson To Open For Emmylou Harris Double Concert At Holmes Center In Boone October 21 Folk rocker Teddy Thompson will open the Emmylou Harris concert at the Holmes Center on October 21. The show is presented as part of the 2006-07 ASU Performing Arts Series. By Jeff Eason If you want to make it in the ultra-competitive music industry, you’ll take any advantage you can get. For folk rocker Teddy Thompson, his advantage might just be genetic. His parents are English folk stars Richard and Linda Thompson, giving young Teddy a pedigree most musicians would kill for. Teddy Thompson will open for The Emmylou Harris Band in concert at the George Holmes Convocation Center in Boone on Saturday, October 21st. The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are on sale now. Thompson’s current tour is in support of his second album overall and his first for the Verve Forecast label. Titled Separate Ways, the album features Thompson on guitars, keyboards, percussion and vocals with help from musicians Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Jenni Muldaur, Garth Hudson, Dave Mattacks, Matt Chamberlain, as well as his parents. Thompson was also featured on the soundtrack to the film Brokeback Mountain, also released on Verve Forecast. His contributions to the soundtrack include his original song “I Don’t Want You to Say Goodbye” and the duet with Rufus Wainwright on a remake of the classic Roger Miller tune “King of the Road.” Recently, Thompson performed with his mother at a tribute concert for Canadian musician Leonard Cohen. Their version of his “Tonight Will Be Fine” will be featured on the documentary film of the tribute concert.
