Well-known from a long run on NPR’s, A Prairie Home
Companion with Garrison Keillor, the Butch Thompson
Trio has earned critical and popular recognition around
the world for its exuberant brand of classic jazz and
ragtime.

The centerpiece is Thompson’s celebrated piano, but
bassist, Marty Eggers and drummer, Chris Tyle are
masters of the subtle interplay that is the hallmark of
early jazz. Specializing in the ragtime music of Scott
Joplin, Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton and other early
jazz heroes, the Butch Thompson Trio shares the pure
joy of music-making, and gives the audience an intimate
view of a thrilling tradition.
