Teddy Thompson has announced more dates for his tour with Elton John.
He will be performing with Elton John at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 22 September 2009, also with perfromances in France, Italy and Russia amongst others.
Sir Elton John, is reportedly a very big fan of Teddy’s work.
Teddy Thompson, son of folk-rock legends Richard and Linda Thompson, developed his musical drive at an early age and launched his first band while still in his early teens.
“A Piece of What You Need”, his fourth album, is a landmark for an artist whose creative restlessness continues to yield deeply compelling musical results. Thompson’s sense of purpose and sense of humor are reflected in the song title that provides the album’s name.
“The song was born from frustration with the state of music,” he explains adding “I knew that I wanted this one to be more adventurous, with strong, solid rhythm tracks and beautiful airy touches to support the songs.”
“I liked it as an album title because I thought it sounded like an offering, like this record is a small bit of truth. For most people, it’s gonna be an absolutely miniscule piece of what they need. But I’d like to think that I’m contributing some tiny little building block of something worthwhile, rather than just adding to the massive pile of disposable rubbish,” says Teddy Thompson.
