RON THOMPSON

Headlining band - Ron Thompson
Ron Thompson: guitar, slide guitar, steel guitar, mandolin, keyboards, and harmonica. Not many living blues musicians can say they have performed with and recorded for legends like Big Mama Thornton, Sonny Rhodes, Luther Tucker, Jimmy McCracklin, Pee Wee Crayton, Carla Thomas, Booker T. Jones, Percy Mayfield, Etta James, B.B. King, and Jimmy Reed. Ron Thompson can, and that's just the beginning! Ron Thompson is a legendary rhythm and blues guitarist, vocalist, and master keyboardist whose career began in the rough and tumble world of East Bay nightclubs and bars in the early '70s. During many years of touring coast to coast with John Lee Hooker, Hooker was quoted as saying, 'Ron Thompson, he's my main man!' After serving as John Lee Hooker's bandleader for seven years, Thompson went on to form his own group-- Ron Thompson and His Resisters -- and toured extensively in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Central America. In the early 80's, Ron met Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac) and the two became musical partners and close friends. Mick convinced Ron to move to Los Angeles where they formed the band, Mick Fleetwood's Blue Whale. Ron Thompson was recently honored by the City of San Francisco for his decades of musical contributions. A few days after Barry Bonds got 'his day' in The City for breaking the all-time American baseball home run record, San Francisco celebrated its own musical home run king, Ron Thompson. By official proclamation of Mayor Gavin Newsom, September 5, 2007, was declared Ron Thompson Day in San Francisco.
