Live Lunch Break Flashback - Vince Thompson & Friends

July 11, 2014 12:00 am • Last Updated: July 10, 2014 6:21 pm

So you didn't see "Live Lunch Break" Thursday in New London's Hygienic Art Park with Americana singer/songerwriter Vince Thompson & (his all-world musical) Friends - guitarist/vocalist Bob Metzger, drummer Steve Peck and standup bassist Lou Bocciarelli.

The good news? We archive all of our "Live Lunch Break" episodes on theday.com, so it's not too late to see Vince Thompson & Friends - and here are a few fun and entertaining things to look for.

• Notice how Thompson's songs resonate whether they're up-tempo honky tonk workouts or melancholy balladry. He's gifted.

• Do Metzger and Peck come back onstage after the break with cold beers? Hell, yes! It was really humid out there.

• Oh, Thompson also happens to teach mathematics at Connecticut College. Can a conversation about Kurt Gödel's "Incompleteness Theorem" slow the momentum at a live music show?
