In 1988,Thompson finally landed a record deal for an album of his own, with Geffen Records.The eponymous Michael Thompson Band (also known by its initial logo, MTB), featuring lead vocals by Moon Calhoun, released the album How Long in 1989 and had a Billboard chart hit that year with the single "Can't Miss". The single hit #33 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.Other musicians on the album included Toto singer Bobby Kimball and ex-Kansas singer John Elefante on background vocals and John Keane, Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa and Missing Persons) and Pat Torpey (Mr. Big) on drums. Michael Thompson has had an incredible career spanning over five decades. In that time his guitar talents have taken him around the world and onto countless classic recordings. Early in his career he toured alongside legendary artists such as Joe Cocker and Cher.

Album:

The Michael Thompson Band is back with a brand new album, "Love And Beyond", on April 26, 2019! For this new release, Michael wanted to go back to the more polished AOR sound of the band's debut album. Once again, he teamed up with Wyn Davis to mix the album. Additionally, he also had the amazing Mark Spiro involved in the songwriting as well as appearing on vocals together with the awesome Larry King and Larry Antonino. Antonino, best known for being Unruly Child's bass player, delivers a phenomenal vocal performance which can only be defined as stunning. Another Unruly Child member, Guy Allison, appears on keyboards, while drums on the album are handled by Sergio Gonzalez and Tim Pedersen.Originally from New York, Michael Thompson moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to begin his career. In 1988, after working to try and get a deal with his band Slang, he signed a deal with Geffen Records to release an album entitled "How Long" under the Michael Thompson Band (M.T.B.) moniker. On "How Long", many great studio musicians appeared as guests, in particular drummer Terry Bozzio, singer Moon Calhoun (ex-The Strand), Pat Torpey (Mr. Big), bassist Jimmy Haslip, John Elefante (Kansas), Bobby Kimball (Toto) and Great White associates Michael Lardie and Wyn Davis (who also produced the album). Songwriters included, among others, AOR luminaries such as Jeff Paris, Mark Spiro, Billy Trudel and Brett Walker.As of today, "How Long" is still regarded as one of the premier examples of hi-tech AOR/yacht rock with superb production and immaculate songwriting. A relationship between Michael Thompson and Frontiers began with the reissue in 2007 of "How Long" (with 3 bonus tracks). The label then released a new Michael Thompson Band album, "Future Past" in early 2012. For that album, Michael teamed up with the awesome singer Larry King from the band Soleil Moon. Larry brought a new and more rocking approach to the MTB sound, but certainly the trademark elements of songwriting and melodies were still to be found on "Future Past".Now, in 2019, Michael Thompson Band returns once again with their new album, "Love & Beyond" that will surely delight AOR and melodic rock fans everywhere!Amongst musician circles, Michael Thompson is considered one of the leading guitar players in the world. He was awarded the "Distinguished Alumni" award from his alma mater, Berklee College of Music to commemorate his contributions to the music industry. Berklee's program for the event noted that "he is widely regarded as being among the elite studio session players, and his amazing list of credits includes such prominent names as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, 'N Sync, Toni Braxton, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Scorpions, Vince Neil, Christina Aguilera, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, Bette Midler, Madonna, Babyface, En Vogue, Gloria Estefan, Stanley Clarke and Ricky Martin."

Album:

The Michael Thompson Band is back with a brand new album, “The Love Goes On”. A new MTB album is, of course, always cause for celebration among AOR fans, but "The Love Goes On" is a particularly exciting entry as it sees the return of original vocalist Moon Calhoun (The Strand, Moon Over Paris, Western Front ft. Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy) to the fold. Calhoun sang on the band's legendary debut album, "How Long", which is generally regarded as one of the all-time great West Coast AOR albums.Calhoun, Thompson, and bassist Tom Croucier (ex-Life By Night, and yes, brother of Ratt's Juan Croucier) wrote all the songs on the album, delivering another high quality serving of classic AOR that the Michael Thompson Band has come to be known for. Drummer Annas Aliaf rounds out the line-up.Amongst musician circles, Michael Thompson is considered one of the leading guitar players in the world. He was awarded the "Distinguished Alumni" award from his alma mater Berklee College of Music to commemorate his contributions to the music industry.
