DCCA presents Award-Winning Country Artists Thompson Square
Darke County Center for the Arts will present award-winning musical duo
Thompson Square in concert at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in
Greenville on Saturday, November 9 at 8 p.m. “Keifer and Shawna
Thompson have earned multiple awards and Grammy nominations with their
amazing talents, winning the attention of country music fans around the
nation and the world,” said David Warner, Artistic Director for DCCA.
“We are truly excited to be bringing these number one hit-makers to our
community, so that fans can experience the thrill of seeing Thompson
Square live in concert within our acoustically perfect performance
space at St. Clair Memorial Hall,” he stated.
According to Mr. Warner, Thompson Square’s music spans a multitude of
emotions and genres, and keeps listeners intrigued and engaged. Known
for their songs that address various aspects of a committed
relationship, their lyrics and twang contribute to Thompson Square
being labeled “country,” although their music could also fit into the
pop/rock category. The duo first gained national acclaim in 2010 with
“Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not,” which was certified double-platinum by
the Recording Industry Association of America; additionally, Thompson
Square was recognized as Top Vocal Duo at the Academy of Country Music
Awards in 2012. Known for their love songs, Thompson Square’s most
recent album Masterpiece contains many songs inspired by their 19-year
marriage, and showcases diverse musical influences.
Second National Bank and Ben and Gail Overholser are sponsoring this
performance by Thompson Square. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this
program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA
also receives funding from the Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer
Memorial Trust Fund, and the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund of Darke
County Foundation. DCCA membership contributions also help support this
show.
Tickets for the Thompson Square concert are $40, and can be obtained by

If any remain by showtime, tickets can also be purchased at the door
prior to the performance. Patrons are reminded that parking is
available at the new parking lot on the west side of St. Clair Memorial
Hall, including handicap-accessible spaces just outside the nearby
accessible entrance; the lot can be entered from Armstrong Street and
