Thompson Square coming to Naperville’s Ribfest

Thompson Square, named Vocal Duo of the Year this week at the 47th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, will perform July 2 at Naperville’s Ribfest as the opening act for Joe Nichols, organizers announced Tuesday.

Thompson Square features the husband-and-wife duo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson and combines country and rock sounds. The pair met at a singing competition just days after they both moved to Nashville. They both pursued solo careers before joining forces about 11 years ago.

Tickets for Thompson Square and Joe Nichols are available in advance for $10. Tickets for all Ribfest entertainment are available on the Ribfest website at ribfest.net and will be date specific.

This year’s Ribfest, sponsored by the Exchange Club of Naperville, runs from June 29 to July 3 in Knoch Park near downtown Naperville. The celebration includes a variety of family activities, 16 rib vendors from across the country and numerous music acts.

Over the past 25 years, the festival has raised $12 million for more than 50 local agencies that are working for the elimination of Child Abuse and Domestic Violence.
