The only son of British folk-rock legends Richard & Linda Thompson, Teddy Thompson was born in 1976. He first came to the musical public eye in 1996 when he turned up on his father's you? me? us? album, contributing backing vocals. He eventually opened for Richard on a number of solo dates following the record's release, as well as adding guitar and supporting vocals on 1999's Mock Tudor and the subsequent tour. In the summer of 2000, Teddy released his self-titled debut for Virgin Records. Separate Ways arrived on the Verve Forecast label in February 2006, followed by 2007's Upfront & Down Low and 2008's Piece of What You Need. ~ Brett Hartenbach
