Butch Thompson’s love of performing started when he entered a talent competition at Stillwater Junior High. In an interview with MPR News in 2013, he recalled the initial feeling of stage fright.

“But I got through it all right, and they just went wild, the kids, and to me that may have been the reason why I became a professional musician.” Thompson said.
