Have You Listened to Trent Thompson Yet? Discover His Guitar-Based Rock Music Right Now
Trent Thompson is a Charlotte-based singer/songwriter who can be found performing throughout the QC on a regular basis. Previously the front man for a local Charlotte band called Reaves, Thompson has opened for bands such as Judah and the Lion, OAR, and Barns Courtney.
Thompson’s style of guitar-based rock music is influenced by some of his favorite bands dating back to his years in middle school, including Taking Back Sunday, Underoath, The Early November, and more recently, Mumford and Sons. Thompson’s original music holds nothing back as he pulls from his religious roots and real-life experiences. He currently has three singles available for listening on major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.
Thompson had this to say when asked what makes his music unique: “It’s hard to compare my music because I feel like there are not a lot of bands or artists that have this sound. So, it does feel a bit unique in that sense. The other unique thing about my music is that it is my story, and every story is unique. That’s the beauty I find in all music; it’s all coming from a different perspective and telling a unique story, and I very much appreciate people listening to mine.”
