Teddy Thompson returns to 3rd & Lindsley on Nov 22 with new songs in hand

His first Nashville show since March 2024 is also his first here since 'Never Be The Same,' his first album of new originals in six years.

When Teddy Thompson last played Nashville, on March 7, 2024, he did it at 3rd & Lindsley. When he comes back, it'll be to the same stage, and this time he has a new record to play from.

Thompson plays 3rd & Lindsley on Sunday, Nov. 22, with an early 6 p.m. start. The show was announced Oct. 14, and tickets are available through the venue's own site. The room holds about 700.

The big change since that 2024 visit is the album. Thompson released *Never Be The Same* on May 15, 2026. It is his 11th album and, according to Folk and Tumble, his first collection of new, original songs in six years. That gap matters. A songwriter who goes six years between batches of originals is usually saying something with the next one, and a Nashville crowd is the kind that listens for it.

He has spent most of 2026 taking the record on the road. A UK run in June took him to rooms such as All Saints Church in Pocklington and the Howard Assembly Room in Leeds (Leeds Inspired). He played Seattle's Tractor Tavern in July (KBCS), and this fall's U.S. swing has included Southgate House Revival in Newport, Ky., and The Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis. By the time he reaches Nashville, these songs will have had months of nights on stage behind them.

3rd & Lindsley is a natural home for a show like this. The club has been his Nashville room on both of these visits, and its size, around 700, is big enough to feel like an event and small enough that a ballad still carries to the back. JamBase files Thompson under country music, and a Sunday night in a Nashville listening room is about as close to the heart of that as it gets.

A Pollstar profile, headlined "Teddy Thompson Knows What You Need," is a good primer if you want to read up before the show.

The practical bits: it's a 6 p.m. start on a Sunday, so this is an early night. You can be home well before the work week starts. Tickets are sold through 3rdandlindsley.com rather than a third-party seller, so buy direct.

Two and a half years between visits, a new record in between, and the same room waiting for him. Some returns are about something new, and some are about coming home. This one sounds like both.
