Thompson Square isn't a real place, exactly. It's the musical territory staked out by the husband-and-wife duo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson, an exciting and unpredictable area where country meets rock, rough meets smooth and one vagabond heart finds a harmonious common ground with another. It's the sweet destination where two journeys end and another one begins. "It's the place where we create our thing, a little fantasyland where we live," Keifer says.

And now the rest of us get to discover that magical place, starting with the chart-topping duo's self- titled debut album. Fans began truly getting to know their way around Stoney Creek Records' Thompson Square with the release of their No.1 platinum radio smash "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not," a fitting introduction to the Thompsons' natural chemistry and spirit of buoyant romance. iTunes' Country Song of the Year (2011) has grown meteorically to become the most played song at Country radio in 2011 (Mediabase) as well as reach the top of the Billboard Heat Seekers Chart. "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not" spent five consecutive weeks at #1 on the Country Digital Soundscan chart and 12 consecutive weeks as the #1 Country Ringtone.

Things have happened very quickly since then: Thompson Square earned three fan-voted American Country Awards for Single of the Year by a Group, Single of the Year by a New Artist and Music Video of the Year by a New Artist. "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not" also earned two GRAMMY nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/ Group Performance of the Year.

In all, Thompson Square was nominated for 14 industry awards in 2011 also including an American Music Award nomination for New Artist of the Year; two 2011 CMA Awards nominations for Best New Artist and Vocal Duo of the Year and two CMT Music Awards nominations. The duo has played to over a million fans in the past year - by both having been rapturously received as an opening act on superstar Jason Aldean's tour and by packing high-energy shows of their own. They've seen the "Kiss Me" video become a favorite on CMT and GAC, even spending 12 consecutive weeks in the Top 5 of CMT's Top 20 Countdown. They've earned a follow-up Top 10 hit with, "I Got You," and traveled the national media circuit, performing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Conan, Fox & Friends, FOX's All American Concert Series, the 45th Annual CMA Awards, FOX's 2nd Annual American Country Awards, NBC's "The Better Show," and more. Thompson Square finishes the year as Billboard's #1 New Country Artist in terms of its single (Hot 100) and album sales (Hot
200) charts. The duo was also named Mediabase's New Country Artist of the Year, in terms of radio airplay.
