"absolutely beautiful intimate venue"
Fingerstyle guitar wizardry
Parking structure next door

Richard Thompson's fingers dance across the fretboard with the kind of wizardry that makes other guitarists weep. The British folk-rock legend brings decades of poetic songwriting and blistering acoustic chops to this cozy Berkeley listening room.
