Nothing is more exciting than hearing your favorite Country Artist is releasing a new single! That’s right, Thompson Square has a new single coming May 20th called “You Make It Look So Good.” It’s been over a year since their last release and fans have been itching for new music! The single is produced by none other than Nathan Chapman!

WATCH: THOMPSON SQUARE PERFORM A TEASER OF THEIR NEW SINGLE
Here’s a video of the full chat!
CMA Fest is less than two months away and we are kind of freaking out about it! Thompson Square was just announced to be performing at the Riverfront stage! To kick things off, The Country Music Association had a twitter Q&A so fans could submit questions! Below are the questions and answers!
Thompson Square announced the name of their next single, a bit too early, so we are staying mum on that until the official announcement. They will be touring this summer and fall and might be releasing an album in the fall, but are going to concentrate on their single first. Can’t wait!
They also said they are working on a Fan Club Party for CMA Fest and are hoping timing will allow for them to have one so they can play new songs for everyone!
before January it would’ve been just being able to be happy doing what we do but now is have to be our son cooper https://t.co/7mrU59FnG2

I can’t believe it’s almost time for the 4th annual Party For A Cause Festival.
While my dear friend Jess recounted her first festival experience, I have also attended the first two!
They were so much fun and definitely something not to miss out on! I was especially excited for the 1st Annual PFAC event because my favorite artists, Thompson Square were signing at the event! They rode in the RAM Truck event and did some promo with that, which will also be at the 4th annual PFAC! There new album had recently been released and I had 10 copies I needed signed! Their manager said, if I bought that many, they would sign them all!
It was also the first time I was able to meet some of the artists I had been listening to for awhile, and even meet new artists I hadn’t been. It’s amazing how after that you can become such a huge fan of someone. The moment I saw Country Trio The Henningsens, I knew they must be an artist. I hadn’t seen them before, but I could just tell by the way they were dressed. They looked so polished. I decided I should introduce myself and meet them. They turned out to be a family band, Dad and two of his 10 children! They are definitely now some of my favorite people and I’m so glad to have found that connection with them!
I was able to see a lot of my favorite artists perform, like Charlie Worsham and Katie Armiger. Even Cassadee Pope and Dustin Lynch were signing autographs!
It was such a great weekend, one I will never forget! 2nd Annual recap coming up!
