The Clifton Center will host the Richard Thompson Electric Trio as part of the MINI of Louisville LIVE concert series on Wednesday, April 10th at 7:30pm. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased at cliftoncenter.org or at Carmichael’s Bookstore, 2720 Frankfort Avenue.

Richard Thompson’s latest album, Electric, produced by Buddy Miller, comes in what is arguably his most creatively productive period in a career that stretches back some 45 years, back to his emergence as a teen guitarist and songwriter with the groundbreaking Fairport Convention— the band that essentially invented the term “English folk- rock.” And that’s saying a lot, with his dozens of albums consistently high on critics polls and guitar skills that have earned him a Top 20 spot on Rolling Stone’s list of Best Guitarists of All Time.
