Thompson Newkirk is a nationally touring Southern pop-rock artist whose music pulses with city grit and coastal soul. Based in New York City, Newkirk delivers a relaxed yet magnetic energy through his guitar-driven sound, fusing heartfelt storytelling with commanding vocals, infectious melodies, and undeniable grooves. His lyrics strike a balance between connection and reflection, capturing life’s highs and lows with an easygoing authenticity.

As Elixir Strings' "Artist of the Month" and a featured voice in Canvas Rebel magazine, Newkirk is gaining attention for a sound that evokes the spirit of acts like Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dire Straits, and Jason Isbell. Whether blending country twang with pop sensibility or laying down soulful, road-worn rock, his music celebrates the journey.

On stage, Newkirk and his band bring that same road-trip spirit to life. Their performances are immersive and unfiltered, a little wild, a little reflective, and always deeply felt. From the first chord to the final note, Newkirk invites audiences to kick back, let loose, and ride the wave.
