The stories in country music stick with us for a lifetime. We pass them down from generation to generation like family treasures. Raised on those same stories, Shawna Thompson proudly carries on this tradition. The Alabama-raised and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and co-founder of chart-topping multiplatinum duo Thompson Square grounds her solo debut,Lean OnNeon(Sun Records), in a legacy of timeless country songcraft empowered by 21st century attitude and a graceful touch of personal poetry.   “My Dad was the biggest influence on this record,” she exclaims. “He played me the first music I’d ever heard. I lost him 12 years ago to colon cancer, so writing and recording this record was a way to feel closer to him. If it weren’t for his influence, I never would’ve started singing or met my husband Keifer and started Thompson Square. Lean On Neon is the album I moved to Nashville to create. It just took me a while.”   Over a decade since the formation of Thompson Square, to be exact, but who’s counting? In the end, Shawna delivers a record worthy of both tradition and its own legacy with Lean On Neon on Sun Records.
