2023 Artists

Thompson Square


Known for romantically charged No. 1 hits like “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not” and “If I Didn’t Have You,” Grammy Award-nominated duo Thompson Square has celebrated several successes in their more than 10-year career. These include multiple award nominations and wins, Top 10 tunes like “I Got You” and “Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About” and multi-Platinum status. The ACM and CMA-winning duo’s new single, “Country In My Soul”, reaffirms their penchant for rollicking anthems and wistful, uplifting balladry that fans have come to know and love. The upbeat, country rock ode to their rural upbringings charged out of the gate as the No. 2 Most Added Song at U.S. Country Radio upon impact and continues to ascend the charts.
