Thompson Square, the husband-and-wife duo of Shawna and Keifer Thompson, wasted no time making their mark on the country music scene after their 2010 signing with Stoney Creek Records. Their self-titled debut album included the platinum-selling, Billboard number 1 country single “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not,” a triple winner at the 2011 American Country Awards.
With the impressive collection of accolades that followed, including two GRAMMY nominations, we at ChildFund knew that Thompson Square was fast on the rise when we signed them as our second partner in LIVE! Soon after, their Vocal Duo of the Year award from Academy of Country Music confirmed it. Then they won the fan-voted Country Music Television award for Duo Video of the Year. In October 2012, “If I Didn’t Have You,” the first single from their sophomore album, became a smash within days. When T2 performed a special preview of the song in Nashville, they donated all proceeds to ChildFund.
From March through early November 2012 and then on another tour in 2013, Thompson Square performed nationwide, helping ChildFund reach diverse audiences with the message of child sponsorship.
