House Upon The Hill by RJ Thompson

Singer-songwriter RJ Thompson released his highly anticipated fifth EP last month.

The musician who hails from Newcastle has been writing and performing for over ten years, but has only just achieved one of his childhood dreams - to perform at the Royal Albert Hall.

RJ is currently on tour with the legendary Jools Holland and is delighted to be supporting him on five of his UK dates, including shows at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, Manchester’s O2 Apollo, Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena, and London’s Royal Albert Hall.

The tour also coincides with RJ’s new EP release and he is looking forward to playing his new material to a live audience.

House Upon The Hill features five tracks including No Man’s Land, Numbers, Born Alone, Cannery Row and title track House Upon The Hill, and was produced by Adam Sinclair and recorded in Blast Recording Studios and Loft Music Studios in Newcastle.

The EP has been a project in the making as it has taken RJ a good year or so to complete it. House Upon The Hill reflects RJ’s different musical styles as he fuses folk, jazz and contemporary pop to create a mixture of soulful and catchy hits.

Prior to its release, RJ released the quirky, fun Numbers in May and the more minimalist and starkly honest title track House Upon The Hill at the beginning of November, which were both well received.

The talented multi-instrumentalist has toured with the likes of Gabriella Cilmi, Sandi Thom, The Proclaimers, John Mayall, Midge Ure (UK & German tours), Ultravox, Deacon Blue, John Martyn, Joe Brooks, David Ford, and Cara Dillon, although RJ has no plans for touring in 2015 yet.
