Playing the Blues is no guarantee of a successful music career, but John "JT" Thompson somehow makes it happen. Now, it's not always pure Blues, but the passion of the Blues influences his approach to everything he plays.

Originally from central Pennsylvania, JTheaded south in the late 1970s, doing his internship in the swamp music dens of Louisiana, the cowboy bars of Texas, the juke joints of Mississippi, the Blues clubs in geirgia, and rock venues up and down the East coast.  Over that time, this talented musician has shown incredible diversity. He's backed up notable performers including soul icon Percy Sledge, legendary Blues great Lotsa Poppa, Cajun swamp pop singer Charles Mann, R & B artist Little Alfred, and internationally-renown casino entertainer Cody Marshall.   He has opened shows for B. B. King, the Pointer Sisters, Bob Seger, Iron Butterfly, Lee Greenwood, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Lattimore, Bobby Rush, Lenny Williams, Coco Montoya, and Ruthie Foster.  JT has traveled the hotel show circuit, played corporate parties for clients such as Coca-Cola and Wolf Camera, the PSU Alumni Association, performed at weddings large and small, and fronted his own hard-rock band, The Chase.

He is currently a fixture in the State College PA music scene, fronting his own group the JTBlues Band, and performing regularly with local favorites Maxwell Strait, The Triple A Blues Band, and chanteuse Natascha Hoffmeyer.

JT has distilled all this experience into a spirited solo act. Beginning with his original Blues and Boogie-Woogie tunes, and throwing in cover that span the decades - from the 30's and 40's right up to today's hits - you'll find JT thrilling an audience with his intuitive style and eclectic taste.



Music is a moral law; It gives wings to the mind, a soul to the universe,
flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, a life to everything.

Plato, 400 B.C
