Thompson Square Coming to Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment



Country is taking over Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment on Saturday, June 15th when the multi-platinum selling duo, Thompson Square takes the stage.  

With romantically charged #1 hits like “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not” and “If I Didn’t Have You,” two Grammy nominations and honors as Vocal Duo of the Year from both the ACM and CMA Awards, Country duo Thompson Square’s career has been the stuff dreams are made of.

Brought together by love and undeniable talent, Keifer and Shawna each moved to Nashville separately but soon met while competing against one another in a local singing competition. They formed Thompson Square as complete unknowns, taking the Country scene by storm with an organic vocal blend that harkened back to the duets of icons like Johnny Cash and June Carter.

Following the release of their 2X Grammy-nominated, double-Platinum breakout “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not,” the Thompsons have been riding a wave of success that continues to this day, touring with superstars like Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum and Luke Bryan and racking up chart topping Country-radio favorites like the devoted “I Got You” and the flirty “Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About.”

With their third studio album, Masterpiece, the husband-and-wife team of Keifer and Shawna Thompson is back and at the top of their game, offering up a fresh batch of poetic and extremely personal Country music.

“We are excited to bring such a Country power-house to the racetrack,” stated Jason Settlemoir, COO & GM of Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment. “We know there are thousands of Country fans in our area and we hope they all come out for an evening of great music and racing.”

Doors for the show open at 2:30 p.m. with the Jason Wicks Band getting the party started at 4 p.m. 
The headliner, Thompson Square will electrify the crowd beginning at 6 p.m. 
The party continues with live racing at 7:15 p.m. and Lauren Davidson on the stage.
