Venue: Lincoln The Drill

Teddy Thompson is a London-born singer-songwriter based in New York, whose melodic, brooding songcraft has long marked him out as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary folk-pop. The son of British folk-rock icons Richard and Linda Thompson, Teddy has carved out a career defined by elegant songwriting, emotional honesty and a deep respect for classic pop craftsmanship.

His new album, Never Be The Same, is a record about steady evolution — a suite of deeply considered, carefully constructed songs rooted in lived experience. Thoughtful and resonant, it reflects on the quiet, sometimes uncomfortable truth that change is not only inevitable but essential — even when you’d rather stay exactly where you are. The result is a collection that feels both intimate and expansive, balancing vulnerability with melodic assurance.
