Husband and wife duo Keifer and Shawna Thompson of Thompson Square who brought us the hit singles "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not", "I Got You" and "Glass" are well on their way to super stardom. The electrifying duo works a crowd. Through out the hour and a half set Shawna and Keifer entertained, interacted with the audience, joked and poked fun at each other.
As the show unwinds Shawna and Keifer announce they will sign autographs after the show, many flocked their way towards the merchandise booth for an autograph and photo opportunity with the duo.

The night's highlights included fans to join in a sing a long on "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not", the finale of the show and "I Got You" when Thompson Square insisted fans come closer to them, it was every fan for themselves.
Shawna and Keifer remain grateful, truly thankful for fans coming to the show through out the evening, it really is about the fans who make the artist, it truly shows. At one point through out the show, Shawn and Keifer talk candidly of their sponsorship with ChildFund International, for every child you can provide food, companionship and a better life for them. You can change a childhood and change the world. Shawna and Keifer are sponsoring a young girl in Indonesia. Among the highlights Thompson Square asked the audience who were among the couples and singles out in the crowd. "Have you ever noticed how happy single people are", Shawna protested, she giggles. She asks the crowd, "Are there any happily married couples in the audience". The crowd roars slightly, to the right hand side a couple in the audience announce they have been married for 52 years. Shawna and Keifer were mighty impressed, as they have been together for 13 years now.
